The Case of the Mysteriously Disappearing Blanket at Greenway

Pattern Chapter 3: Ms Lemon

Miss Felicity Lemon serves as Poirot's secretary and is characterised by her extraordinary efficiency, methodical nature, and near-perfect orderliness. 

Her role is primarily to assist Poirot with administrative tasks, but occasionally she provides key insights or information that aids in the investigations. Her obsession with order and precision contrasts humorously with Poirot's own meticulousness.
