Agatha Christie’s Poirot Episode Guide
man in the street that approached her as she was returning to the Todd’s house one night, the
man supposedly having come from there to see her. The money came from a friend of her late
grandmother who had settled in Australia and married a wealthy settler. Eliza had immediately
taken the train north and a couple of days later received her belongings from Clapham, although
wrapped in paper parcels and not in her old trunk, which she supposes had been kept behind by
Mrs. Todd in a fit of pique. Poirot rushes back to Clapham with Hastings and explains matters
on the way. Simpson knew what his colleague Davis was up to at the bank. He killed the man for
the securities and needed an old, inconspicuous trunk in which to hide the body and that meant
diverting Eliza out of the way. It was Simpson in disguise that approached her in the street. On
arriving at Clapham, Simpson has already disappeared but is traced to an ocean liner bound for
the US. The trunk with Davis’ body inside is located at a Glasgow railway station. Poirot views
the link between a disappearing cook and a murder to be one of his most interesting cases, and
he frames the cheque sent by Mr. Todd for his consulting fee as a reminder of it.
