claude monet paintings

Poirot nodded,the asked if the dead woman lived over the shop. "Yes,sir,you go through that door at the back,sir.You'll excuse menot coming with you,but I've got to stay-"Poirot passed through the door inquestion and I followed him.Behind the shop was a microscopic sort ofparlour and kitchen combined-it was neat and clean but very dreary lookingand scantily furnished.On the mantelpiece were a few photographs.I went upand looked at them and Poirot joined me. The photographs were three in all.One was a cheap portrait of the girlwe had been with that afternoon,Mary Drower.She was obviously wearing herbest clothes and had the self-conscious
,wooden smile on her face that soofter disfigures the expression in posed photography,and makes a snapshotpreferable. The second was a more expensive type of picture-an artistically blurredreproduction of an elderly woman with white hair.A high fur collar stood upround the neck.
