Poirot hesitated, releasing a little sigh. He smoothed a wrinkle from the surface of the blanket covering his lap. “I would like, Hastings," he said, "for you to examine with me a different set of facts.” “Yes?” Hastings responded, immediately attentive. Unable, as he had always been, to resist such an invitation; though Poirot noted that there was already a furrow of unease creasing his brow. “Consider, for example,” Poirot continued carefully, “for how many years you have remained my dearest friend and companion. How often, in that time, I have remarked upon your exceedingly beautiful nature, unlike that of any other person I have known. Consider my great and visible joy at your arrival, which I have scarcely endeavored to conceal from you; or how I have taken such pride in your Judith’s strong will and intelligence, as much as I might in my own child —” He broke off, then glanced up and added gravely, “Is it not evident, Hastings, what you have meant in my life?” ━━━━━━━━━━ A retelling of the events of the novel Curtain: Poirot's Last Case from Poirot's point of view, with a scene that Arthur Hastings omitted from his own telling.
