"The 21st，"said Japp."That's what I dropped in about.Yesterday was the21st and just out of curiosity I rang up Andover last night.Nothingdoing.One broken shop window-kid throwing stones-and a couple of drunk anddisorderlies.So just for once our Belgian friend was barking up the wrongtree." "I am relieved，I must confess." acknowledged Poirot. "You'd quite got the wind up about it，hadn't you?"said Jappaffectionately."Bless you，we get dozens of letters like that coming inevery day!People with nothing better to do and a bit weak in the top storeysit down and write'em.They don't mean any harm!Just a kind of excitement." "I have indeed been foolish to take the matter so seriously，"saidPoirot."It is the nest of the horse that I put my nose into there."

"You're mixing up mares and wasps，"said Japp. "Pardon?" "Just a couple of proverbs.Well，I must be off.Got a little business inthe next street to see to-receiving stolen jewellery.I thought I'd just dropin on my way and put your mind at rest.Pity to let those grey cells functionunnecessarily." With which words and a hearty laugh，Japp departed.
