Mrs
.
Maltravers
almost
staggered
where
she
stood
,
and
her
face
blanched
noticeably
.
“
You
,
”
she
gasped
.
“
I
thought
you
were
on
the
sea
—
on
your
way
to
East
Africa
?
”
“
I
got
some
news
from
my
lawyers
that
detained
me
,
”
explained
the
young
man
.
“
My
old
uncle
in
Scotland
died
unexpectedly
and
left
me
some
money
.
Under
the
circumstances
I
thought
it
better
to
cancel
my
passage
.
Then
I
saw
this
bad
news
in
the
paper
and
I
came
down
to
see
if
there
was
anything
I
could
do
.
You
’
ll
want
some
one
to
look
after
things
for
you
a
bit
perhaps
.
”
At
that
moment
they
became
aware
of
our
presence
.
Poirot
stepped
forward
,
and
with
many
apologies
explained
that
he
had
left
his
stick
in
the
hall
.
Rather
reluctantly
,
it
seemed
to
me
,
Mrs
.
Maltravers
made
the
necessary
introduction
.
“
Monsieur
Poirot
,
Captain
Black
.
”
A
few
minutes
’
chat
ensued
,
in
the
course
of
which
Poirot
elicited
the
fact
that
Captain
Black
was
putting
up
at
the
Anchor
Inn
.
The
missing
stick
not
having
been
discovered
(
which
was
not
surprising
)
,
Poirot
uttered
more
apologies
and
we
withdrew
.
We
returned
to
the
village
at
a
great
pace
,
and
Poirot
made
a
bee
line
for
the
Anchor
Inn
.
“
Here
we
establish
ourselves
until
our
friend
the
Captain
returns
,
”
he
explained
.
“
You
notice
that
I
emphasized
the
point
that
we
were
returning
to
London
by
the
first
train
?
Possibly
you
thought
I
meant
it
.
But
no
—
you
observed
Mrs
.
Maltravers
’
face
when
she
caught
sight
of
this
young
Black
?
She
was
clearly
taken
aback
,
and
he
—
eh
bien
,
he
was
very
devoted
,
did
you
not
think
so
?
And
he
was
here
on
Tuesday
night
—
the
day
before
Mr
.
Maltravers
died
.
We
must
investigate
the
doings
of
Captain
Black
,
Hastings
.
”
In
about
half
an
hour
we
espied
our
quarry
approaching
the
inn
.
Poirot
went
out
and
accosted
him
and
presently
brought
him
up
to
the
room
we
had
engaged
.
