Blunt doesn’t recognize her, but she’s delighted to see him, and asks to visit her old friend Gerda, who- look, let’s just make this easier on all of us, okay? ( Side Note: Veteran Poirot-watchers will immediately recognize the twin signs of “extended pre-case flashback” and “main characters who are theatre professionals”, indicating that at some point someone will almost surely be pretending to be someone they’re not.)ġ2 years later in London, Mabelle runs into Blunt outside the dentist office of one Henry Morley, who has the unfortunate fate of being dentist to Our Belgian as well.
