I don’t mind confessing that we could do with something. There’s not a clue of any kind. Most mysterious business.’,‘That’s more than I am, I can tell you. All right, Captain Hastings. I’ll be there.’,My next task was to ring up Bryan Martin.

Poirot had not confided ³ in me. There was a pause.,‘All right,’ said Bryan at last. ‘I’ll come.’,He rang off.,Presently, somewhat to my surprise, Poirot rang up Jenny Driver and asked her, also, to be present.,The inspector was shining a flashlight onto the tickets.查票员打着手电筒查看车票 。,When he was depressed,he felt utterly divorced from reality.他心情沮丧时就感到完全脱离了现实
