VI
Colonel Johnson said:
“God bless my soul!” Then he said:
“Upon my word!” And finally, once more: “God bless my soul!
He leaned back in his chair and stared at Poirot. He said plaintively1:
“My best man! What’s the police coming to?”
Poirot said:
“Even policemen have private lives! Sugden was a very proud man.”
Colonel Johnson shook his head.
To relieve his feelings he kicked at the logs in the grate. He said jerkily:
“I always say—nothing like a wood fire.”
Hercule Poirot, conscious of the draughts2 round his neck, thought to himself:
“Pour moi, every time the central heating. .?.?.”
