“Have you done anything?” said Mrs. Oliver.
“I beg your pardon—have I done what?”
“Anything,” said Mrs. Oliver. “What I asked you about yesterday.”
“Yes, certainly. I have put things in motion. I have arranged to make certain enquiries.”
“But you haven’t made them yet,” said Mrs. Oliver, who had a poor view of what the male view was of doing something.

“What have you learnt?” said Mrs. Oliver. “Have you done anything?”
“You are always so sceptical,” said Poirot. “You always consider that I do nothing, that I sit in a chair and repose myself.”
“Well I think you sit in a chair and think,” admitted Mrs. Oliver, “but I quite agree that you don’t often go out and do things.”

“And what have you done?” said Mrs. Oliver.
“You are always so stern, madame,” said Poirot. “You demand that I run about, that I also do things.”
“Well, have you run about?”
“I have not run about, but I have had a few consultations with others of my own profession.”

We shall see if they align!"Yes, the stars ✨ will align ;) Despite the fun banter between Mrs. Oliver and Poirot, this was a rather weak entry overall that repeated things too often esp. the overdone elephant jokes. Also, the solution was obvious as soon as the sister element was revealed. It was a very late book of course, so it is a 3 in relation to her classic 4s and 5s, i.e. still a "Like" on the GR scale.
