With luck I have managed to come here under the benefaction of a man who big fan of my ‘work’ (a rather strange reason, I admit – I did not create the work he is referring to, and shouldn’t thank me for it – but I have no qualm and am most grateful for his contribution!). I have come to the land that is as beautiful as its people are distrustful and pretentious. No success to report on tracking down the whereabouts of Hercule Poirot – he would appear to be working on another case, rather than trying to escape me, which I find quite disturbing – not for him but for myself.
I never heard of Hercule Poirot; you seemed to know of him, and insisted on his good intentions and his detective background, but indeed I let my initial ill-favor of this man cloud my judgment, and I shoved off your requests that I make peace with him. I went after him distrusting that he was of good intent; when he escaped to Paris I believed that it had to do with some machinations against me. But to hear of him spending his time… on a case? If he was a detective, it would make perfect sense, but if he was a man of gambit and malice, it would seem a strangely wasteful and unrewarding activity simply to maintain an identity.
As a result I have decided to change my approach and tactic in approaching Hercule Poirot, although I am less concerned now whether or not he can trust me as opposed to me trusting him. I have not figured out how but I hope to find some way of contacting this man in good terms in the not too distant future.

Good luck. I hope everything goes well.
I am glad that you have understood the situation. I had faith that you would.
Should you wish to do so, you may post an article directed to Poirot here, and I will give him a “link” to it, so that he may read it. Perhaps you could send him a request for a meeting in a public place where you can both discuss the matter safely.
Thank so much in understanding our side of things. If want our help in trying to get you in contact with him, we’ll do whatever you need.
I’m glad you worked past your initial ill-favor of Poirot. Your judgement did seem impaired for a few days. You have a terribly strong ego Sherlock, but your detective skills and desire for truth are even stronger, thank you for not disappointing us. I feel that with this you are one step closer to reuniting with your friends… and smoking jacket. :)
I’m pleased that you managed to finally understand Poirot-hopefully you two will work together in the future.
You might want to view his blog- he is working on a very, very, interesting case.

Poirot has indicated willingness to meet with, provided certain conditions:
1. You agree on a single, public location
2. No weapons
3. Dressed in clothing which you have described to each other in advance, so that neither of you may “don a disguise and assault the other.”
