“
I
am
sure
of
it
,
”
said
Poirot
politely
.
“
You
will
permit
a
few
questions
,
on
your
nephew
’
s
behalf
?
About
this
lock
,
who
ordered
it
from
Hubbs
’
s
?
”
“
I
ordered
it
myself
,
”
said
Mr
.
Shaw
.
“
I
would
not
trust
to
any
clerk
in
the
matter
.
As
to
the
keys
,
Mr
.
Ridgeway
had
one
,
and
the
other
two
are
held
by
my
colleague
and
myself
.
”
“
And
no
clerk
has
had
access
to
them
?
”
Mr
.
Shaw
turned
inquiringly
to
Mr
.
Vavasour
.
“
I
think
I
am
correct
in
saying
that
they
have
remained
in
the
safe
where
we
placed
them
on
the
23rd
,
”
said
Mr
.
Vavasour
.
“
My
colleague
was
unfortunately
taken
ill
a
fortnight
ago
—
in
fact
on
the
very
day
that
Philip
left
us
.
He
has
only
just
recovered
.
”
“
Severe
bronchitis
is
no
joke
to
a
man
of
my
age
,
”
said
Mr
.
Shaw
ruefully
.
“
But
I
am
afraid
Mr
.
Vavasour
has
suffered
from
the
hard
work
entailed
by
my
absence
,
especially
with
this
unexpected
worry
coming
on
top
of
everything
.
”
Poirot
asked
a
few
more
questions
.
I
judged
that
he
was
endeavouring
to
gauge
the
exact
amount
of
intimacy
between
uncle
and
nephew
.
Mr
.
Vavasour
’
s
answers
were
brief
and
punctilious
.
His
nephew
was
a
trusted
official
of
the
Bank
,
and
had
no
debts
or
money
difficulties
that
he
knew
of
.
He
had
been
entrusted
with
similar
missions
in
the
past
.
Finally
we
were
politely
bowed
out
.
“
I
am
disappointed
,
”
said
Poirot
,
as
we
emerged
into
the
street
.
“
You
hoped
to
discover
more
?
They
are
such
stodgy
old
men
.
”
“
It
is
not
their
stodginess
which
disappoints
me
,
mon
ami
.
I
do
not
expect
to
find
in
a
Bank
manager
a
‘
keen
financier
with
an
eagle
glance
’
as
your
favourite
works
of
fiction
put
it
.
No
,
I
am
disappointed
in
the
case
—
it
is
too
easy
!
