Poirot operates systematically, and he often advocates the use of the "little grey cells" in his deductions; he also loves being theatrical and mysterious, and never seems to part with information or unmask the villain until the last possible moment. This has led Inspector Japp and, more notably, Hastings, to claim that he deliberately withheld information in order to appear smarter than he really was. Despite the dramatics and the fact that he did withhold information from Hastings on occasions, Poirot is a man of great, if not almost super-human, intellect and also a man of great charisma, in whom other characters confide.

I'm just a dandelion
a fate I don't deserve.

Then why say anything? In fact, why is dAN even here? He does not like Esmer, and it's clear Esmer doesn't like him, so why bring him up? He certainly didn't ask for it.
