The Adventure of the Clapham Cook

Mrs Ernestine Todd, from Clapham, asks Poirot to help her find her cook, Eliza, who has vanished without trace. Poirot likes to take on only big and important cases, so at first he feels slighted by being called on to work on such a trivial matter. But he agrees to visit Mrs Todd's house, and after he has seen the contents of the missing cook's trunk, Poirot decides the case might prove to be worthy of his great talents, after all.
