Mary Cassatt painting
At this moment there was a solid mass of people standing staring at oneparticular house or shop and it took little perspicuity to guess which thatwas.What we saw was a mass of average human beings looking with intenseinterest at the spot where another human being had been done to death. As we drew nearer this proved to be indeed the case. In front of a small dingy-looking shop with its shutters now closedstood a harassed-looking young policeman who was stolidly adjuring the crowdto "pass along there."

Bu the help of a colleague,displacements took place-a certain number ofpeople grudgingly sighed and betook themselves to their ordinary vocations,and almost immediately other persons came along and took up their stand togaze their fill on the spot where murder had been committed. Poirot stopped a little distance from the main body of the crowd.Fromwhere we stood the legend painted over the door could be read plainlyenough.Poirot repeated it under his breath. "A.Ascher.Oui,c'est peut-etre-la-"He broke off. "Come,let us go inside,Hastings."
