"
And
how
are
you
going
to
find
out
?
"
I
asked
.
Caroline
said
there
would
be
no
difficulty
about
that
.
Our
Annie
’
s
dearest
friend
was
Miss
Gannett
’
s
maid
,
Clara
.
And
Clara
was
walking
out
with
the
Boots
at
the
Three
Boars
.
The
whole
thing
was
simplicity
itself
,
and
by
the
aid
of
Miss
Gannett
,
who
co
-
operated
loyally
,
at
once
giving
Clara
leave
of
absence
,
the
matter
was
rushed
through
at
express
speed
.
It
was
when
we
were
sitting
down
to
lunch
that
Caroline
remarked
,
with
would
-
be
unconcern
:
"
About
those
boots
of
Ralph
Paton
’
s
.
"
"
Well
,
"
I
said
,
"
what
about
them
?
"
"
M
.
Poirot
thought
they
were
probably
brown
.
He
was
wrong
.
They
’
re
black
.
"
And
Caroline
nodded
her
head
several
times
.
She
evidently
felt
that
she
had
scored
a
point
over
Poirot
.
I
did
not
answer
.
I
was
puzzling
over
what
the
colour
of
a
pair
of
Ralph
Paton
’
s
boots
had
to
do
with
the
case
.
I
was
to
have
a
further
proof
that
day
of
the
success
of
Poirot
’
s
tactics
.
That
challenge
of
his
had
been
a
subtle
touch
born
of
his
knowledge
of
human
nature
.
A
mixture
of
fear
and
guilt
had
wrung
the
truth
from
Mrs
.
Ackroyd
.
She
was
the
first
to
react
.
That
afternoon
when
I
returned
from
seeing
my
patients
,
Caroline
told
me
that
Geoffrey
Raymond
had
just
left
.
"
Did
he
want
to
see
me
?
"
I
asked
,
as
I
hung
up
my
coat
in
the
hall
.
Caroline
was
hovering
by
my
elbow
.
"
It
was
M
.
Poirot
he
wanted
to
see
,
"
she
said
.
"
He
’
d
just
come
from
the
Larches
.
Mr
.
Poirot
was
out
.
Mr
.
Raymond
thought
that
he
might
be
here
,
or
that
you
might
know
where
he
was
.
"
"
I
haven
’
t
the
least
idea
.
"
"
I
tried
to
make
him
wait
,
"
said
Caroline
,
"
but
he
said
he
would
call
back
at
The
Larches
in
half
an
hour
,
and
went
away
down
the
village
.
A
great
pity
,
because
M
.
Poirot
came
in
practically
the
minute
after
he
left
.
"
"
Came
in
here
?
"
"
No
,
to
his
own
house
.
"
"
How
do
you
know
?
"
"
The
side
window
,
"
said
Caroline
briefly
.
