A
few
minutes
later
saw
us
retracing
our
steps
to
the
village
.
"
What
was
the
point
of
that
question
about
the
glasses
?
"
I
asked
curiously
.
Poirot
shrugged
his
shoulders
.
"
One
must
say
something
,
"
he
remarked
.
"
That
particular
question
did
as
well
as
any
other
"
I
stared
at
him
.
"
At
any
rate
,
my
friend
,
"
he
said
seriously
,
"
I
know
now
something
I
wanted
to
know
.
Let
us
leave
it
at
that
.
’
That
night
we
had
a
little
Mah
Jong
party
.
This
kind
of
simple
entertainment
is
very
popular
in
King
’
s
Abbot
.
The
guests
arrive
in
goloshes
and
waterproofs
after
dinner
.
They
partake
of
coffee
and
later
of
cake
,
sandwiches
and
tea
.
On
this
particular
night
our
guests
were
Miss
Gannett
and
Colonel
Carter
,
who
lives
near
the
church
.
A
good
deal
of
gossip
is
handed
round
at
these
evenings
,
sometimes
seriously
interfering
with
the
game
in
progress
.
We
used
to
play
bridge
–
chatty
bridge
of
the
worst
description
.
We
find
Mah
Jong
much
more
peaceful
.
The
irritated
demand
as
to
why
on
earth
your
partner
did
not
lead
a
certain
card
is
entirely
done
away
with
,
and
though
we
still
express
criticisms
frankly
,
there
is
not
the
same
acrimonious
spirit
.
"
Very
cold
evening
,
eh
,
Sheppard
?
"
said
Colonel
Carter
,
standing
with
his
back
to
the
fire
.
Caroline
had
taken
Miss
Gannett
to
her
own
room
,
and
was
there
assisting
her
to
disentangle
herself
from
her
many
wraps
.
"
Reminds
me
of
the
Afghan
passes
.
"
"
Indeed
?
"
I
said
politely
.
"
Very
mysterious
business
this
about
poor
Ackroyd
,
"
continued
the
colonel
,
accepting
a
cup
of
coffee
.
"
A
deuce
of
a
lot
behind
it
–
that
’
s
what
I
say
.
Between
you
and
me
,
Sheppard
,
I
’
ve
heard
the
word
blackmail
mentioned
!
"
The
colonel
gave
me
the
look
which
might
be
tabulated
"
one
man
of
the
world
to
another
.
"
"
A
woman
in
it
,
no
doubt
,
"
he
said
.
"
Depend
upon
it
,
a
woman
in
it
.
"
Caroline
and
Miss
Gannett
joined
us
at
this
minute
.
