“
I
was
just
going
to
turn
on
the
other
light
,
”
she
said
,
“
when
a
man
sprang
on
me
from
behind
.
He
tore
my
necklace
from
my
neck
with
such
force
that
I
fell
headlong
to
the
floor
.
As
I
fell
I
saw
him
disappearing
through
the
side
door
.
Then
I
realized
by
the
pig
-
tail
and
the
embroidered
robe
that
he
was
a
Chinaman
.
”
She
stopped
with
a
shudder
.
The
butler
reappeared
.
He
spoke
in
a
low
voice
to
Lord
Yardly
.
“
A
gentleman
from
Mr
.
Hoffberg
’
s
,
m
’
lord
.
He
says
you
expect
him
.
”
“
Good
heavens
!
”
cried
the
distracted
nobleman
.
“
I
must
see
him
,
I
suppose
.
No
,
not
here
,
Mullings
,
in
the
library
.
”
I
drew
Poirot
aside
.
“
Look
here
,
my
dear
fellow
,
hadn
’
t
we
better
get
back
to
London
?
”
“
You
think
so
,
Hastings
?
Why
?
”
“
Well
”
—
I
coughed
delicately
—
“
things
haven
’
t
gone
very
well
,
have
they
?
I
mean
,
you
tell
Lord
Yardly
to
place
himself
in
your
hands
and
all
will
be
well
—
and
then
the
diamond
vanishes
from
under
your
very
nose
!
”
“
True
,
”
said
Poirot
,
rather
crestfallen
.
“
It
was
not
one
of
my
most
striking
triumphs
.
”
