The following text is adapted from Agatha Christie's 1923 novel The Big Four. The narrator is speaking with Hercule Poirot, a notoriously stubborn detective.
"Don't go," I urged. "Cancel your passage and come out on the same boat with me."
Poirot drew himself up and glanced at me reproachfully.
"Ah, it is that you do not understand! I have passed my word, you comprehend—the word of Hercule Poirot. Nothing but a matter of life or death could detain me now."
"And that's not likely to occur," I murmured ruefully.
As used in the text, what does the word "reproachfully" most nearly mean?
