"
Yes
,
"
I
repeated
encouragingly
.
"
On
Friday
afternoon
.
Well
?
"
"
Everyone
was
out
,
or
so
I
thought
.
And
I
went
into
Roger
’
s
study
–
I
had
some
real
reason
for
going
there
–
I
mean
,
there
was
nothing
underhand
about
it
.
And
as
I
saw
all
the
papers
heaped
on
the
desk
,
it
just
came
to
me
,
like
a
flash
:
"
I
wonder
if
Roger
keeps
his
will
in
one
of
the
drawers
of
the
desk
.
"
I
’
m
so
impulsive
,
always
was
,
from
a
child
.
I
do
things
on
the
spur
of
the
moment
.
He
’
d
left
his
keys
–
very
careless
of
him
–
in
the
lock
of
the
top
drawer
.
"
"
I
see
,
"
I
said
helpfully
.
"
So
you
searched
the
desk
.
Did
you
find
the
will
?
"
Mrs
.
Ackroyd
gave
a
little
scream
,
and
I
realized
that
I
had
not
been
sufficiently
diplomatic
.
"
How
dreadful
it
sounds
.
But
it
wasn
’
t
at
all
like
that
really
.
"
"
Of
course
it
wasn
’
t
,
"
I
said
hastily
.
"
You
must
forgive
my
unfortunate
way
of
putting
things
.
"
"
Of
course
,
men
are
so
peculiar
.
In
dear
Roger
’
s
place
,
I
should
have
not
objected
to
revealing
the
provisions
of
my
will
.
But
men
are
so
secretive
.
One
is
forced
to
adopt
little
subterfuges
in
self
-
defence
.
"
"
And
the
result
of
the
little
subterfuge
?
"
I
asked
.
"
That
’
s
just
what
I
’
m
telling
you
.
As
I
got
to
the
bottom
drawer
.
Bourne
came
in
.
Most
awkward
.
Of
course
I
shut
the
drawer
and
stood
up
,
and
I
called
her
attention
to
a
few
specks
of
dust
on
the
surface
.
But
I
didn
’
t
like
the
way
she
looked
–
quite
respectful
in
manner
,
but
a
very
nasty
light
in
her
eyes
.
Almost
contemptuous
,
if
you
know
what
I
mean
.
I
never
have
liked
that
girl
very
much
.
She
’
s
a
good
servant
,
and
she
says
Ma
’
am
,
and
doesn
’
t
object
to
wearing
caps
and
aprons
(
which
I
declare
to
you
a
lot
of
them
do
nowadays
)
,
and
she
can
say
"
Not
at
home
"
without
scruples
if
she
has
to
answer
the
door
instead
of
Parker
,
and
she
doesn
’
t
have
those
peculiar
gurgling
noises
inside
which
so
many
parlourmaids
seem
to
have
when
they
wait
at
table
Let
me
see
,
where
was
I
?
"
"
You
were
saying
,
that
in
spite
of
several
valuable
qualities
,
you
never
liked
Bourne
.
"
"
No
more
I
do
.
She
’
s
–
odd
.
There
’
s
something
different
about
her
from
the
others
.
Too
well
educated
,
that
’
s
my
opinion
.
You
can
’
t
tell
who
are
ladies
and
who
aren
’
t
nowadays
.
"
"
And
what
happened
next
?
"
I
asked
.
"
Nothing
.
At
least
,
Roger
came
in
.
And
I
thought
he
was
out
for
a
walk
.
And
he
said
:
"
What
’
s
all
this
?
"
and
I
said
"
Nothing
.
I
just
came
in
to
fetch
Punch
.
"
And
I
took
Punch
and
went
out
with
it
.
Bourne
stayed
behind
.
I
heard
her
asking
Roger
if
she
could
speak
to
him
for
a
minute
.
I
went
straight
up
to
my
room
,
to
lie
down
.
I
was
very
upset
.
"
There
was
a
pause
.
"
You
will
explain
to
M
.
Poirot
,
won
’
t
you
?
You
can
see
for
yourself
what
a
trivial
matter
the
whole
thing
was
.
But
,
of
course
,
when
he
was
so
stern
about
concealing
things
,
I
thought
of
this
at
once
.
Bourne
may
have
made
some
extraordinary
story
out
of
it
,
but
you
can
explain
,
can
’
t
you
?
"
"
That
is
all
?
"
I
said
.
"
You
have
told
me
everything
?
"
"
Ye
-
es
,
"
said
Mrs
.
Ackroyd
.
"
Oh
!
yes
,
"
she
added
firmly
.
But
I
had
noted
the
momentary
hesitation
,
and
I
knew
that
there
was
still
something
she
was
keeping
back
.
It
was
nothing
less
than
a
flash
of
sheer
genius
that
prompted
me
to
ask
the
question
I
did
.
"
Mrs
.
Ackroyd
,
"
I
said
,
"
was
it
you
who
left
the
silver
table
open
?
"
I
had
my
answer
in
the
blush
of
guilt
that
even
rouge
and
powder
could
not
conceal
.
"
How
did
you
know
?
"
she
whispered
.
"
It
was
you
,
then
?
"
"
Yes
–
I
–
you
see
–
there
were
one
or
two
pieces
of
old
silver
–
very
interesting
.
I
had
been
reading
up
the
subject
and
there
was
an
illustration
of
quite
a
small
piece
which
had
fetched
an
immense
sum
at
Christy
’
s
.
It
looked
to
be
just
the
same
as
the
one
in
the
silver
table
.
I
thought
I
would
take
it
up
to
London
with
me
when
I
went
–
and
–
and
have
it
valued
.
Then
if
it
really
was
a
valuable
piece
,
just
think
what
a
charming
surprise
it
would
have
been
for
Roger
.
"
I
refrained
from
comments
,
accepting
Mrs
.
Ackroyd
’
s
story
on
its
merits
.
I
even
forbore
to
ask
her
why
it
was
necessary
to
abstract
what
she
wanted
in
such
a
surreptitious
manner
.
