The cook is but the beginning of the story, Hastings. We're on to bigger things. (名探偵ポワロ)

Go on. Clear off.  (名探偵ポワロ)  

             

We've got to give up any idea of her being concerned in the business. (名探偵ポワロ)

Yeah, the car's definitely running rich.  (名探偵ポワロ)

(a car that is running "rich" has too much gas entering the combustion chamber of the engine. This problem can be caused by a host of different problems but one of the more common caues is a faulty oxygen sensor. If your car engine is running rich you will experience the following symptoms: decreased gas mileage, increased emissions, and at times decreased engine performance. Neglecting to fix a rich fuel condition can cause carbon buildup on your spark plugs and may lead to premature wear of your emission systems.)
