At
three
o
’
clock
,
we
stood
once
more
upon
Charing
Cross
platform
.
To
all
our
expostulations
,
Poirot
turned
a
deaf
ear
,
and
reiterated
again
and
again
that
to
start
at
the
beginning
was
not
a
waste
of
time
,
but
the
only
way
.
On
the
way
over
,
he
had
conferred
with
Norman
in
a
low
voice
,
and
the
latter
had
despatched
a
sheaf
of
telegrams
from
Dover
.
Owing
to
the
special
passes
held
by
Norman
,
we
got
through
everywhere
in
record
time
.
In
London
,
a
large
police
car
was
waiting
for
us
,
with
some
plain
-
clothes
men
,
one
of
whom
handed
a
typewritten
sheet
of
paper
to
my
friend
.
He
answered
my
inquiring
glance
.
“
A
list
of
the
cottage
hospitals
within
a
certain
radius
west
of
London
.
I
wired
for
it
from
Dover
.
”
We
were
whirled
rapidly
through
the
London
streets
.
We
were
on
the
Bath
Road
.
On
we
went
,
through
Hammersmith
,
Chiswick
and
Brentford
.
I
began
to
see
our
objective
.
Through
Windsor
and
on
to
Ascot
.
My
heart
gave
a
leap
.
Ascot
was
where
Daniels
had
an
aunt
living
.
We
were
after
him
,
then
,
not
O
’
Murphy
.
We
duly
stopped
at
the
gate
of
a
trim
villa
.
Poirot
jumped
out
and
rang
the
bell
.
I
saw
a
perplexed
frown
dimming
the
radiance
of
his
face
.
Plainly
,
he
was
not
satisfied
.
The
bell
was
answered
.
He
was
ushered
inside
.
In
a
few
moments
he
reappeared
,
and
climbed
into
the
car
with
a
short
,
sharp
shake
of
his
head
.
My
hopes
began
to
die
down
.
It
was
past
four
now
.
Even
if
he
found
certain
evidence
incriminating
Daniels
,
what
would
be
the
good
of
it
,
unless
he
could
wring
from
some
one
the
exact
spot
in
France
where
they
were
holding
the
Prime
Minister
?
Our
return
progress
towards
London
was
an
interrupted
one
.
We
deviated
from
the
main
road
more
than
once
,
and
occasionally
stopped
at
a
small
building
,
which
I
had
no
difficulty
in
recognizing
as
a
cottage
hospital
.
Poirot
only
spent
a
few
minutes
at
each
,
but
at
every
halt
his
radiant
assurance
was
more
and
more
restored
.
He
whispered
something
to
Norman
,
to
which
the
latter
replied
:
