Afterward, Linnet approaches Poirot and confides that Jacqueline has been stalking them since they were married, which is antagonizing both of them. At their shared hotel in Cairo, Poirot sees an apparent chance meeting between the Doyles and Jacqueline. Poirot happens to encounter the couple on their honeymoon to Egypt, where he himself is on holiday. Three months later, Simon has broken off his engagement to Jacqueline and married Linnet. The next day, Jacqueline takes Simon to meet her best friend, the wealthy young heiress Linnet Ridgeway, in the hopes that Linnet will offer Simon a job. Poirot also notices that Jackie (a nickname given to her and used by intimates short for Jacqueline) is very much smitten and is in love with Simon. While dining out in London one evening, Hercule Poirot notices a young woman, Jacqueline de Bellefort, dining and dancing with her fiancé, Simon Doyle.
