It
was
half
-
past
five
when
we
arrived
at
Yardly
Chase
,
and
followed
the
dignified
butler
to
the
old
panelled
hall
with
its
fire
of
blazing
logs
.
A
pretty
picture
met
our
eyes
:
Lady
Yardly
and
her
two
children
,
the
mother
’
s
proud
dark
head
bent
down
over
the
two
fair
ones
.
Lord
Yardly
stood
near
,
smiling
down
on
them
.
“
Monsieur
Poirot
and
Captain
Hastings
,
”
announced
the
butler
.
Lady
Yardly
looked
up
with
a
start
,
her
husband
came
forward
uncertainly
,
his
eyes
seeking
instruction
from
Poirot
.
The
little
man
was
equal
to
the
occasion
.
“
All
my
excuses
!
It
is
that
I
investigate
still
this
affair
of
Miss
Marvell
’
s
.
She
comes
to
you
on
Friday
,
does
she
not
?
I
make
a
little
tour
first
to
make
sure
that
all
is
secure
.
Also
I
wanted
to
ask
of
Lady
Yardly
if
she
recollected
at
all
the
postmarks
on
the
letters
she
received
?
”
Lady
Yardly
shook
her
head
regretfully
.
“
I
’
m
afraid
I
don
’
t
.
It
is
stupid
of
me
.
But
,
you
see
,
I
never
dreamt
of
taking
them
seriously
.
”
“
You
’
ll
stay
the
night
?
”
said
Lord
Yardly
.
“
Oh
,
milord
,
I
fear
to
incommode
you
.
We
have
left
our
bags
at
the
inn
.
”
“
That
’
s
all
right
.
”
Lord
Yardly
had
his
cue
.
“
We
’
ll
send
down
for
them
.
No
,
no
—
no
trouble
,
I
assure
you
.
”
Poirot
permitted
himself
to
be
persuaded
,
and
sitting
down
by
Lady
Yardly
,
began
to
make
friends
with
the
children
.
In
a
short
time
they
were
all
romping
together
,
and
had
dragged
me
into
the
game
.
