I had been impressed at the time by Poirot's forebodings about theanonymous letter he had received，but I must admit that the matter hadpassed from my mind when the 21st actually arrived and the first reminder ofit came with a visit paid to my friend by Chief Inspector Japp of ScotlandYard.The CID inspector had been known to us for many years and he gave me ahearty welcome. "Well，I never，"he exclaimed."If it isn't Captain Hastings back fromthe wilds of the what do you call it!Quite like old days seeing you herewith Monsieur Poirot.You're looking well，too.Just a little bit thin on top，eh?Well，that's what we're all coming to.I'm the same."

I winced slightly.I was under the impression that owing to the carefulway I brushed my hair across the top of my head the thinness referred to byJapp was quite unnoticeable.However，Japp had never been remarkable for tactwhere I was concerned，so I put a good face upon it and agreed that we werenon of us getting any youger. "Except Monsieur Poirot here，"said Japp.
