Poirot Series 02 Episode 09 ‘The Adventure of the Western Star’
Hastings plays Sherlock Holmes and Poirot meets his star
Poirot is thrilled to receive an invitation from renowned Belgian actress Marie Marvelle. She has been receiving anonymous notes about the Western Star, a valuable diamond purchased by her husband at a cut-rate price several years before. The notes speak to the mystical nature of the diamonds and that they should be returned to their rightful owners. The next day, Lady Yardly claims to have received similar notes about her own fabulous diamond, the Eastern Star. When Poirot and Hastings visit Lord and Lady Yardly the diamond is stolen in a daring robbery. Needless to say, none of this sits well with Poirot who finds he has a very tight knot to untie.— garykmcd
Quotes:
Captain Hastings: You know, you say you have the particular sensitivity to women and all that,
Poirot. It seems to me that all you did for Mrs. Marvelle is to lose her her husband.

Hercule Poirot, most humble man in the world.
‘Or no– remember it, and if you think at any time that I am growing conceited– it is not likely, but it might arise.’
I concealed a smile.
‘Eh bien, my friend, you shall say to me, “Chocolate box.” Is it agreed?’
‘It’s a bargain!’
‘After all,’ said Poirot reflectively. ‘It was an experience! I, who have undoubtedly the finest brain in Europe at present, can afford to be magnanimous!’
‘Chocolate box,’ I murmured gently.
‘Pardon, mon ami?’
I looked at Poirot’s innocent face, as he bent forward inquiringly, and my heart smote me. I have suffered often at his hands, but I, too, though not possessing the finest brain in Europe, could afford to be magnanimous!
‘Nothing,’ I lied, and lit another pipe, smiling to myself.
The Chocolate Box, Agatha Christie
