I am the forest, I am ancient.
I treasure the stag, I treasure the deer.
I shelter you from storm, I shelter you from snow.
I resist the frost, I keep the source.
I nurse the earth, I am always there.
I build your house, I kindle your hearth.
Therefore, you people, hold me dear.
— Inscription found in a 17th century forester’s house in Lower Saxony, Germany

Ariadne: Because the meringue got stuck in my teeth.
Poirot: ...I see. The pathway of logic is there somewhere, but...
Ariadne: Meringue--dentures--ivory--elephants.
