Revisiting Hercule Poirot - Revister Hercule Poirot

You know what?
All those Hercule Poirot books … all those skipped French expressions --- I feel like rereading all Agatha Christie books just to understand what dear Poirot exclaimed.
I picked this from Wikipedia:
The plane dropped slightly. "Mon estomac," thought Hercule Poirot, and closed his eyes determinedly
I know now what this means: My stomach.
I now also know that even if estomac were female noun, it still would have “mon estomac” and not “ma estimac”. Isn’t that wonderful? N'est-ce pas merveilleux?
