A
shrewd
,
hard
look
came
into
Miss
Marvell
’
s
eyes
which
belied
their
childlike
appearance
.
She
looked
suddenly
a
good
deal
older
.
“
I
want
to
wear
it
down
there
.
”
“
Surely
”
I
said
suddenly
,
“
there
are
some
very
famous
jewels
in
the
Yardly
collection
,
a
large
diamond
amongst
them
?
”
“
That
’
s
so
,
”
said
Miss
Marvell
briefly
.
I
heard
Poirot
murmur
beneath
his
breath
:
“
Ah
,
c
’
est
comme
ça
!
”
Then
he
said
aloud
,
with
his
usual
uncanny
luck
in
hitting
the
bull
’
s
-
eye
(
he
dignifies
it
by
the
name
of
psychology
)
:
“
Then
you
are
without
doubt
already
acquainted
with
Lady
Yardly
,
or
perhaps
your
husband
is
?
”
“
Gregory
knew
her
when
she
was
out
West
three
years
ago
,
”
said
Miss
Marvell
.
She
hesitated
a
moment
,
and
then
added
abruptly
:
“
Do
either
of
you
ever
see
Society
Gossip
?
”
We
both
pleaded
guilty
rather
shamefacedly
.
“
I
ask
because
in
this
week
’
s
number
there
is
an
article
on
famous
jewels
,
and
it
’
s
really
very
curious
—
—
”
She
broke
off
.
I
rose
,
went
to
the
table
at
the
other
side
of
the
room
and
returned
with
the
paper
in
question
in
my
hand
.
She
took
it
from
me
,
found
the
article
,
and
began
to
read
aloud
:
“
.
.
.
Amongst
other
famous
stones
may
be
included
the
Star
of
the
East
,
a
diamond
in
the
possession
of
the
Yardly
family
.
An
ancestor
of
the
present
Lord
Yardly
brought
it
back
with
him
from
China
,
and
a
romantic
story
is
said
to
attach
to
it
.
According
to
this
,
the
stone
was
once
the
right
eye
of
a
temple
god
.
Another
diamond
,
exactly
similar
in
form
and
size
,
formed
the
left
eye
,
and
the
story
goes
that
this
jewel
,
too
,
would
in
course
of
time
be
stolen
.
‘
One
eye
shall
go
West
,
the
other
East
,
till
they
shall
meet
once
more
.
Then
,
in
triumph
shall
they
return
to
the
god
.
’
It
is
a
curious
coincidence
that
there
is
at
the
present
time
a
stone
corresponding
closely
in
description
with
this
one
,
and
known
as
‘
the
Star
of
the
West
,
’
or
‘
the
Western
Star
.
