“
Oh
,
no
,
that
was
not
her
part
!
Her
part
was
what
you
have
just
mentioned
,
to
provide
an
alibi
for
Mrs
.
Havering
at
the
moment
the
shot
was
fired
.
And
no
one
will
ever
find
her
,
mon
ami
,
because
she
does
not
exist
!
‘
There
’
s
no
sech
person
,
’
as
your
so
great
Shakespeare
says
.
”
“
It
was
Dickens
,
”
I
murmured
,
unable
to
suppress
a
smile
.
“
But
what
do
you
mean
,
Poirot
?
”
“
I
mean
that
Zoe
Havering
was
an
actress
before
her
marriage
,
that
you
and
Japp
only
saw
the
housekeeper
in
a
dark
hall
,
a
dim
middle
-
aged
figure
in
black
with
a
faint
subdued
voice
,
and
finally
that
neither
you
nor
Japp
,
nor
the
local
police
whom
the
housekeeper
fetched
,
ever
saw
Mrs
.
Middleton
and
her
mistress
at
one
and
the
same
time
.
It
was
child
’
s
play
for
that
clever
and
daring
woman
.
On
the
pretext
of
summoning
her
mistress
,
she
runs
upstairs
,
slips
on
a
bright
jumper
and
a
hat
with
black
curls
attached
which
she
jams
down
over
the
grey
transformation
.
A
few
deft
touches
,
and
the
make
-
up
is
removed
,
a
slight
dusting
of
rouge
,
and
the
brilliant
Zoe
Havering
comes
down
with
her
clear
ringing
voice
.
Nobody
looks
particularly
at
the
housekeeper
.
Why
should
they
?
There
is
nothing
to
connect
her
with
the
crime
.
She
,
too
,
has
an
alibi
.
”
“
But
the
revolver
that
was
found
at
Ealing
?
Mrs
.
Havering
could
not
have
placed
it
there
?
”
“
No
,
that
was
Roger
Havering
’
s
job
—
but
it
was
a
mistake
on
their
part
.
It
put
me
on
the
right
track
.
A
man
who
has
committed
a
murder
with
a
revolver
which
he
found
on
the
spot
would
fling
it
away
at
once
,
he
would
not
carry
it
up
to
London
with
him
.
No
,
the
motive
was
clear
,
the
criminals
wished
to
focus
the
interest
of
the
police
on
a
spot
far
removed
from
Derbyshire
they
were
anxious
to
get
the
police
away
as
soon
as
possible
from
the
vicinity
of
Hunter
’
s
Lodge
.
Of
course
the
revolver
found
at
Ealing
was
not
the
one
with
which
Mr
.
Pace
was
shot
.
Roger
Havering
discharged
one
shot
from
it
,
brought
it
up
to
London
,
went
straight
to
his
club
to
establish
his
alibi
,
then
went
quickly
out
to
Ealing
by
the
district
,
a
matter
of
about
twenty
minutes
only
,
placed
the
parcel
where
it
was
found
and
so
back
to
town
.
That
charming
creature
,
his
wife
,
quietly
shoots
Mr
Pace
after
dinner
—
you
remember
he
was
shot
from
behind
?
Another
significant
point
,
that
!
—
reloads
the
revolver
and
puts
it
back
in
its
place
,
and
then
starts
off
with
her
desperate
little
comedy
.
”
“
It
’
s
incredible
,
”
I
murmured
,
fascinated
,
“
and
yet
—
—
”
“
And
yet
it
is
true
.
Bien
sur
,
my
friend
,
it
is
true
.
But
to
bring
that
precious
pair
to
justice
,
that
is
another
matter
.
Well
,
Japp
must
do
what
he
can
—
I
have
written
him
fully
—
but
I
very
much
fear
,
Hastings
,
that
we
shall
be
obliged
to
leave
them
to
Fate
,
or
le
bon
Dieu
,
whichever
you
prefer
.
”
“
The
wicked
flourish
like
a
green
bay
tree
,
”
I
reminded
him
.
