“
Lights
,
”
said
Poirot
briskly
.
The
lights
went
on
as
if
by
magic
.
“
That
’
s
it
,
”
he
continued
.
“
You
heard
,
Hastings
?
And
you
,
Everett
?
Oh
,
by
the
way
,
this
is
Mr
.
Everett
,
rather
a
fine
member
of
the
theatrical
profession
.
I
’
phoned
to
him
this
afternoon
.
His
make
-
up
is
good
,
isn
’
t
it
?
Quite
like
the
dead
man
,
and
with
a
pocket
torch
and
the
necessary
phosphorescence
he
made
the
proper
impression
.
I
shouldn
’
t
touch
her
right
hand
if
I
were
you
,
Hastings
.
Red
paint
marks
so
.
When
the
lights
went
out
I
clasped
her
hand
,
you
see
.
By
the
way
,
we
mustn
’
t
miss
our
train
.
Inspector
Japp
is
outside
the
window
.
A
bad
night
—
but
he
has
been
able
to
while
away
the
time
by
tapping
on
the
window
every
now
and
then
.
”
“
You
see
,
”
continued
Poirot
,
as
we
walked
briskly
through
the
wind
and
rain
,
“
there
was
a
little
discrepancy
.
The
doctor
seemed
to
think
the
deceased
was
a
Christian
Scientist
,
and
who
could
have
given
him
that
impression
but
Mrs
.
Maltravers
?
But
to
us
she
represented
him
as
being
in
a
grave
state
of
apprehension
about
his
own
health
.
Again
,
why
was
she
so
taken
aback
by
the
reappearance
of
young
Black
?
And
lastly
,
although
I
know
that
convention
decrees
that
a
woman
must
make
a
decent
pretence
of
mourning
for
her
husband
,
I
do
not
care
for
such
heavily
-
rouged
eyelids
!
You
did
not
observe
them
,
Hastings
?
No
?
As
I
always
tell
you
,
you
see
nothing
!
”
“
Well
,
there
it
was
.
There
were
the
two
possibilities
.
Did
Black
’
s
story
suggest
an
ingenious
method
of
committing
suicide
to
Mr
.
Maltravers
,
or
did
his
other
listener
,
the
wife
,
see
an
equally
ingenious
method
of
committing
murder
?
I
inclined
to
the
latter
view
To
shoot
himself
in
the
way
indicated
,
he
would
probably
have
had
to
pull
the
trigger
with
his
toe
—
or
at
least
so
I
imagine
.
Now
if
Maltravers
had
been
found
with
one
boot
off
,
we
should
almost
certainly
have
heard
of
it
from
some
one
.
An
odd
detail
like
that
would
have
been
remembered
.
“
No
,
as
I
say
,
I
inclined
to
the
view
that
it
was
a
case
of
murder
,
not
suicide
,
but
I
realized
that
I
had
not
a
shadow
of
proof
in
support
of
my
theory
.
Hence
the
elaborate
little
comedy
you
saw
played
to
-
night
.
”
“
Even
now
I
don
’
t
quite
see
all
the
details
of
the
crime
?
”
I
said
.
“
Let
us
start
from
the
beginning
.
Here
is
a
shrewd
and
scheming
woman
who
,
knowing
of
her
husband
’
s
financial
débâcle
and
tired
of
the
elderly
mate
she
has
only
married
for
his
money
,
induces
him
to
insure
his
life
for
a
large
sum
,
and
then
seeks
for
the
means
to
accomplish
her
purpose
.
An
accident
gives
her
that
—
the
young
soldier
’
s
strange
story
.
The
next
afternoon
when
monsieur
le
capitaine
,
as
she
thinks
,
is
on
the
high
seas
,
she
and
her
husband
are
strolling
round
the
grounds
.
‘
What
a
curious
story
that
was
last
night
!
’
she
observes
.
‘
Could
a
man
shoot
himself
in
such
a
way
?
Do
show
me
if
it
is
possible
!
’
The
poor
fool
—
he
shows
her
.
He
places
the
end
of
the
rifle
in
his
mouth
.
She
stoops
down
,
and
puts
her
finger
on
the
trigger
,
laughing
up
at
him
.
‘
And
now
,
sir
,
’
she
says
saucily
,
‘
supposing
I
pull
the
trigger
?
’
