Bouguereau William

Bouguereau William
The girl hesitated for a minute or two. Poirot said with a slight smile: "I will help you.I heard what you said to Hastings.That your sister wasa bright,happy girl with no men friends.It was-un peu-the opposite that wastrue,was it not?" Megan said slowly: "There wasn't any harm in Betty.I want you to understand that.She'dalways go straight.She's not the weekending kind. Nothing of that sort.But she liked being taken out and dancing and-oh,cheap flattery and compliments and all that sort of thing." "And she was pretty-yes?" This question,the third time I had heard it,met this time with apractical response.

Megan slipped off the table,went to her suitcase,snapped it open andextracted something which she handed to Poirot. In a leather frame was a head and shoulders of a fair-haried,smilinggirl.Her hair had evidently recently been permed,it stood out from her headin a mass of rather frizzy curls.The smile was arch and artificial.It wascertainly not a face that you could call beautiful,but it had an obviousand cheap prettiness. Poirot handed it back,saying: "You and she do not resemble each other,mademoiselle." "Oh!I'm the plain one of the family.I've always known that."She seemedto brush aside the fact as umimportant.
