“
No
strangers
of
any
kind
been
inside
this
room
?
”
“
No
,
sir
.
”
“
You
forget
the
workmen
,
Jim
,
”
his
wife
reminded
him
.
“
Workmen
?
”
Poirot
wheeled
round
on
her
.
“
What
workmen
?
”
The
woman
explained
that
about
two
years
and
a
half
ago
workmen
had
been
in
the
house
to
do
certain
repairs
.
She
was
quite
vague
as
to
what
the
repairs
were
.
Her
view
seemed
to
be
that
the
whole
thing
was
a
fad
of
her
master
’
s
and
quite
unnecessary
.
Part
of
the
time
the
workmen
had
been
in
the
study
;
but
what
they
had
done
there
she
could
not
say
,
as
her
master
had
not
let
either
of
them
into
the
room
whilst
the
work
was
in
progress
.
Unfortunately
,
they
could
not
remember
the
name
of
the
firm
employed
,
beyond
the
fact
that
it
was
a
Plymouth
one
.
“
We
progress
,
Hastings
,
”
said
Poirot
,
rubbing
his
hands
as
the
Bakers
left
the
room
.
“
Clearly
he
made
a
second
will
and
then
had
workmen
from
Plymouth
in
to
make
a
suitable
hiding
-
place
.
Instead
of
wasting
time
taking
up
the
floor
and
tapping
the
walls
,
we
will
go
to
Plymouth
.
”
With
a
little
trouble
,
we
were
able
to
get
the
information
we
wanted
.
After
one
or
two
essays
,
we
found
the
firm
employed
by
Mr
.
Marsh
.
Their
employees
had
all
been
with
them
many
years
,
and
it
was
easy
to
find
the
two
men
who
had
worked
under
Mr
.
Marsh
’
s
orders
.
They
remembered
the
job
perfectly
.
Amongst
various
other
minor
jobs
,
they
had
taken
up
one
of
the
bricks
of
the
old
-
fashioned
fireplace
,
made
a
cavity
beneath
,
and
so
cut
the
brick
that
it
was
impossible
to
see
the
join
.
By
pressing
on
the
second
brick
from
the
end
,
the
whole
thing
was
raised
.
It
had
been
quite
a
complicated
piece
of
work
,
and
the
old
gentleman
had
been
very
fussy
about
it
.
Our
informant
was
a
man
called
Coghan
,
a
big
,
gaunt
man
with
a
grizzled
moustache
.
He
seemed
an
intelligent
fellow
.
We
returned
to
Crabtree
Manor
in
high
spirits
,
and
,
locking
the
study
door
,
proceeded
to
put
our
newly
acquired
knowledge
into
effect
.
It
was
impossible
to
see
any
sign
on
the
bricks
,
but
when
we
pressed
in
the
manner
indicated
,
a
deep
cavity
was
at
once
disclosed
.
