Like
a
flash
the
doctor
ran
to
our
tent
.
Poirot
was
lying
as
I
left
him
.
“
Extraordinary
,
”
cried
Ames
.
“
Looks
like
a
seizure
—
or
—
what
did
you
say
about
something
he
drank
?
”
He
picked
up
the
empty
cup
.
“
Only
I
did
not
drink
it
!
”
said
a
placid
voice
.
We
turned
in
amazement
.
Poirot
was
sitting
up
on
the
bed
.
He
was
smiling
.
“
No
,
”
he
said
gently
.
“
I
did
not
drink
it
.
While
my
good
friend
Hastings
was
apostrophizing
the
night
,
I
took
the
opportunity
of
pouring
it
,
not
down
my
throat
,
but
into
a
little
bottle
.
That
little
bottle
will
go
to
the
analytical
chemist
.
No
”
—
as
the
doctor
made
a
sudden
movement
—
“
as
a
sensible
man
,
you
will
understand
that
violence
will
be
of
no
avail
.
During
Hastings
’
brief
absence
to
fetch
you
,
I
have
had
time
to
put
the
bottle
in
safe
keeping
.
Ah
,
quick
,
Hastings
,
hold
him
!
”
I
misunderstood
Poirot
’
s
anxiety
.
Eager
to
save
my
friend
,
I
flung
myself
in
front
of
him
.
But
the
doctor
’
s
swift
movement
had
another
meaning
.
His
hand
went
to
his
mouth
,
a
smell
of
bitter
almonds
filled
the
air
,
and
he
swayed
forward
and
fell
.
“
Another
victim
,
”
said
Poirot
gravely
,
“
but
the
last
.
Perhaps
it
is
the
best
way
.
He
has
three
deaths
on
his
head
.
”
“
Dr
.
Ames
?
”
I
cried
,
stupefied
.
“
But
I
thought
you
believed
in
some
occult
influence
?
”
“
You
misunderstood
me
,
Hastings
.
What
I
meant
was
that
I
believe
in
the
terrific
force
of
superstition
.
Once
get
it
firmly
established
that
a
series
of
deaths
are
supernatural
,
and
you
might
almost
stab
a
man
in
broad
daylight
,
and
it
would
still
be
put
down
to
the
curse
,
so
strongly
is
the
instinct
of
the
supernatural
implanted
in
the
human
race
.
I
suspected
from
the
first
that
a
man
was
taking
advantage
of
that
instinct
.
The
idea
came
to
him
,
I
imagine
,
with
the
death
of
Sir
John
Willard
.
A
fury
of
superstition
arose
at
once
.
As
far
as
I
could
see
,
nobody
could
derive
any
particular
profit
from
Sir
John
’
s
death
.
Mr
.
Bleibner
was
a
different
case
.
He
was
a
man
of
great
wealth
.
The
information
I
received
from
New
York
contained
several
suggestive
points
.
To
begin
with
,
young
Bleibner
was
reported
to
have
said
he
had
a
good
friend
in
Egypt
from
whom
he
could
borrow
.
It
was
tacitly
understood
that
he
meant
his
uncle
,
but
it
seemed
to
me
that
in
that
case
he
would
have
said
so
outright
.
The
words
suggest
some
boon
companion
of
his
own
.
