No
,
his
valet
is
quite
positive
on
that
point
.
The
rest
of
his
wardrobe
is
intact
.
There
’
s
more
.
We
’
ve
arrested
Lowen
.
One
of
the
maids
,
whose
business
it
is
to
fasten
the
bedroom
windows
,
declares
that
she
saw
Lowen
coming
towards
the
study
through
the
rose
-
garden
about
a
quarter
past
six
.
That
would
be
about
ten
minutes
before
he
left
the
house
.
”
“
What
does
he
himself
say
to
that
?
”
“
Denied
first
of
all
that
he
had
ever
left
the
study
.
But
the
maid
was
positive
,
and
he
pretended
afterwards
that
he
had
forgotten
just
stepping
out
of
the
window
to
examine
an
unusual
species
of
rose
.
Rather
a
weak
story
!
And
there
’
s
fresh
evidence
against
him
come
to
light
.
Mr
.
Davenheim
always
wore
a
thick
gold
ring
set
with
a
solitaire
diamond
on
the
little
finger
of
his
right
hand
.
Well
,
that
ring
was
pawned
in
London
on
Saturday
night
by
a
man
called
Billy
Kellett
!
He
’
s
already
known
to
the
police
—
did
three
months
last
autumn
for
lifting
an
old
gentleman
’
s
watch
.
It
seems
he
tried
to
pawn
the
ring
at
no
less
than
five
different
places
,
succeeded
at
the
last
one
,
got
gloriously
drunk
on
the
proceeds
,
assaulted
a
policeman
,
and
was
run
in
in
consequence
.
I
went
to
Bow
Street
with
Miller
and
saw
him
.
He
’
s
sober
enough
now
,
and
I
don
’
t
mind
admitting
we
pretty
well
frightened
the
life
out
of
him
,
hinting
he
might
be
charged
with
murder
.
This
is
his
yarn
,
and
a
very
queer
one
it
is
.
“
He
was
at
Entfield
races
on
Saturday
,
though
I
dare
say
scarfpins
was
his
line
of
business
,
rather
than
betting
.
Anyway
,
he
had
a
bad
day
,
and
was
down
on
his
luck
.
He
was
tramping
along
the
road
to
Chingside
,
and
sat
down
in
a
ditch
to
rest
just
before
he
got
into
the
village
.
A
few
minutes
later
he
noticed
a
man
coming
along
the
road
to
the
village
,
‘
dark
-
complexioned
gent
,
with
a
big
moustache
,
one
of
them
city
toffs
,
’
is
his
description
of
the
man
.
“
Kellett
was
half
concealed
from
the
road
by
a
heap
of
stones
.
Just
before
he
got
abreast
of
him
,
the
man
looked
quickly
up
and
down
the
road
,
and
seeing
it
apparently
deserted
he
took
a
small
object
from
his
pocket
and
threw
it
over
the
hedge
.
Then
he
went
on
towards
the
station
.
Now
,
the
object
he
had
thrown
over
the
hedge
had
fallen
with
a
slight
‘
chink
’
which
aroused
the
curiosity
of
the
human
derelict
in
the
ditch
.
He
investigated
and
,
after
a
short
search
,
discovered
the
ring
!
That
is
Kellett
’
s
story
.
It
’
s
only
fair
to
say
that
Lowen
denies
it
utterly
,
and
of
course
the
word
of
a
man
like
Kellett
can
’
t
be
relied
upon
in
the
slightest
.
It
’
s
within
the
bounds
of
possibility
that
he
met
Davenheim
in
the
lane
and
robbed
and
murdered
him
.
”
Poirot
shook
his
head
.
“
Very
improbable
,
mon
ami
.
He
had
no
means
of
disposing
of
the
body
.
It
would
have
been
found
by
now
.
Secondly
,
the
open
way
in
which
he
pawned
the
ring
makes
it
unlikely
that
he
did
murder
to
get
it
.
Thirdly
,
your
sneak
-
thief
is
rarely
a
murderer
.
Fourthly
,
as
he
has
been
in
prison
since
Saturday
,
it
would
be
too
much
of
a
coincidence
that
he
is
able
to
give
so
accurate
a
description
of
Lowen
.
”
Japp
nodded
.
“
I
don
’
t
say
you
’
re
not
right
.
But
all
the
same
,
you
won
’
t
get
a
jury
to
take
much
note
of
a
jailbird
’
s
evidence
.
What
seems
odd
to
me
is
that
Lowen
couldn
’
t
find
a
cleverer
way
of
disposing
of
the
ring
.
