Quote context

[...]

- You stopped at Chester's flower shop, bought an orchid, had lunch at the Brown Derby and ate, among other things, a shrimp cocktail. Later, you went from there..

- No, thank you. That's plenty.

- But... don't try to tell me you learned that from my coat. You probably followed me.

- Sorry, you're wrong. Here's how it was done.

- A few black hairs on the coat told me the lady's age. And a preparation on the hair revealed she had something to do with acting under powerful lights.

- I guessed she was a star instead of an extra because the face powder, also found on the coat, was very expensive.

- You were walking, because if you had been riding the powder would have been differently placed.

- It was in the morning because that particular powder will not look well on a brunette at night.

- You went to Chester's because I found pollen from a cymbidium - that's a terrestrial orchid and Chesters is one of the few shops carrying it.

- You went to the Derby because I found a tiny spot of sauce used for a seafood cocktail.

- And it contained a trace of herb which I won't name, because the chef at the Derby claims that it's part of his secret shrimp recipe.
