Context

“«Which is a very good, or a very bad explanation,» remarked Poirot. «It covers everything, and explains nothing. I shall keep my eye on our clever Dr. Bauerstein.»
«Any more faults to find with the evidence?» I inquired satirically.
«Mon ami,» replied Poirot gravely, «when you find that people are not telling you the truth—look out! Now, unless I am much mistaken, at the inquest to-day only one—at most, two persons were speaking the truth without reservation or subterfuge.»
«Oh, come now, Poirot! I won't cite Lawrence, or Mrs. Cavendish.” source
