CHRONOLOGY: 1931

SEPTEMBER: The Third Floor Flat

No references. Poirot has a cold. Probably early autumn. The song they are singing in the stair case, "Life Is Just a Bowl of Cherries", was released in early 1931, so I suggest an autumn 1931 placement of the episode. Also, the marriage certificate is dated in 1930 (as Poirot points out). Of course, the marriage might have been much longer than a year, but for the sake of a fairly even distribution of episode along the timeline, I think we can safely place the episode here, especially since it is not specified how much time is supposed to have passed between now and the marriage.

  1. The marriage license has a mistake: At the date on the top, it says 1930, but the first line gives the marriage date in text, and the year is 1932.

  3. The letter sent from the lawyer is dated October 5th 1935. Thus that is when the episode takes place.
