[
Hercule Poirot attends a party at Mr. Shaitana's home]
Mr. Shaitana:
My dear Monsieur Poirot, come in, come in. How simply divine to see you.
Hercule Poirot:
Monsieur Shaitana.
Mr. Shaitana:
I don't know if you know the famous Mrs. Oliver.
Hercule Poirot:
Ah, yes, of course I do. Enchante, Madame.
Ariadne Oliver:
Hello, Poirot.
Hercule Poirot:
I did not realize you accepted this kind of invitation, Madame.
Ariadne Oliver:
Oh, well, Mr. Shaitana can be awfully persuasive.
Mr. Shaitana:
We met at a literary dinner. Mrs. Oliver was the guest of honor.
Ariadne Oliver:
Oh, yes, it was the Crime Writers Circle, wasn't it? Come to think of it, what were you doing there?
