Do
not
distress
yourself
—
it
would
have
been
one
way
or
another
.
Well
,
I
must
get
on
the
telephone
to
London
.
”
Poirot
had
a
lengthy
conversation
over
the
wire
,
and
came
back
thoughtful
.
He
went
off
by
himself
in
the
afternoon
,
and
it
was
not
till
seven
o
’
clock
that
he
announced
that
he
could
put
it
off
no
longer
,
but
must
break
the
news
to
the
young
widow
.
My
sympathy
had
already
gone
out
to
her
unreservedly
.
To
be
left
penniless
,
and
with
the
knowledge
that
her
husband
had
killed
himself
to
assure
her
future
was
a
hard
burden
for
any
woman
to
bear
.
I
cherished
a
secret
hope
,
however
,
that
young
Black
might
prove
capable
of
consoling
her
after
her
first
grief
had
passed
.
He
evidently
admired
her
enormously
.
Our
interview
with
the
lady
was
painful
.
She
refused
vehemently
to
believe
the
facts
that
Poirot
advanced
,
and
when
she
was
at
last
convinced
broke
down
into
bitter
weeping
.
An
examination
of
the
body
turned
our
suspicions
into
certainty
.
Poirot
was
very
sorry
for
the
poor
lady
,
but
,
after
all
,
he
was
employed
by
the
Insurance
Company
,
and
what
could
he
do
?
As
he
was
preparing
to
leave
he
said
gently
to
Mrs
.
Maltravers
:
“
Madame
,
you
of
all
people
should
know
that
there
are
no
dead
!
”
“
What
do
you
mean
?
”
she
faltered
,
her
eyes
growing
wide
.
“
Have
you
never
taken
part
in
any
spiritualistic
séances
?
You
are
mediumistic
,
you
know
.
”
“
I
have
been
told
so
.
But
you
do
not
believe
in
Spiritualism
,
surely
?
”
“
Madame
,
I
have
seen
some
strange
things
.
You
know
that
they
say
in
the
village
that
this
house
is
haunted
?
”
She
nodded
,
and
at
that
moment
the
parlourmaid
announced
that
dinner
was
ready
.
