She
turned
impulsively
to
Blunt

"
You
understand
,

she
said

What

can
I
do

As
things

,
I
must
stand
by
Ralph

Mrs

out
into
shrill
protests

Flora
remained
unmoved
.
Then
Raymond
spoke
.
"
I
appreciate
your
motives
.
Miss
Ackroyd
.
But
don
’
t
you
think
you
’
re
being
rather
precipitate
?
Wait
a
day
or
two
.
"
"
Tomorrow
,
"
said
Flora
in
a
clear
voice
.
"
It
’
s
no
good
,
Mother
,
going
on
like
this
.
Whatever
else
I
am
,
I

m
not
disloyal
to
my
friends

M

Poirot
,
"
Mrs
.
Ackroyd
appealed
tearfully
.
"
Can
’
t
you
say
anything
at
all
?
"
"
Nothing
to

said
,
"
interpolated
Blunt
.
"
She
’
s
doing
the
right
thing

I
’
ll
stand
by
her

thick
and
thin
.

Flora

out
her
hand
to
him

"
Thank
you

Major

she
said

"
Mademoiselle
,
"
said
Poirot
,
"
will
you
let
an
old
man
congratulate
you
on
your
courage
and
your
loyalty
?
And
will
you
not
misunderstand
me
if
I
ask
you
–
ask
you
most
solemnly
–
to
postpone
the
announcement
you
speak
of
for
at
least
two
days
more
?

Flora
hesitated

"
I
ask
it
in
Ralph
Paton
’
s
interests
as
much
as
in
yours
,
mademoiselle

You
frown
.
You
do
not
see
how
that
can
be
.
But
I
assure
you
that
it
is
so
.
Pas

.
You
put
the
case
into
my
hands
–
you
must
not
hamper
me
now
.
"
Flora
paused
a
few
minutes
before
replying
.
"
I
do
not
like
it
,
"
she
said
at
last
,
"
but
I
will
do
what
you
say
.
"
She
sat
down
again
at
the
table
.
