The
eyes
of
the
two
ladies
met
,
and
seemed
to
exchange
information
.
"
Really
,
"
said
Caroline
interestedly
.
"
Is
that
it
?
Well
,
it
doesn
’
t
surprise
me
in
the
least
.
"
"
We
’
re
waiting
for
you
to
discard
.
Miss
Caroline
,
"
said
the
colonel
.
He
sometimes
affects
the
pose
of
the
bluff
male
,
intent
on
the
game
and
indifferent
to
gossip
.
But
nobody
is
deceived
.
"
If
you
ask
me
,
"
said
Miss
Gannett
.
(
"
Was
that
a
Bamboo
you
discarded
,
dear
?
Oh
!
no
,
I
see
now
–
it
was
a
Circle
.
)
As
I
was
saying
,
if
you
ask
me
.
Flora
’
s
been
exceedingly
lucky
.
Exceedingly
lucky
she
’
s
been
.
"
"
How
’
s
that
.
Miss
Gannett
?
"
asked
the
colonel
.
"
I
’
ll
Pung
that
Green
Dragon
.
How
do
you
make
out
that
Miss
Flora
’
s
been
lucky
?
Very
charming
girl
and
all
that
,
I
know
.
"
"
I
mayn
’
t
know
very
much
about
crime
,
"
said
Miss
Gannett
,
with
the
air
of
one
who
knows
everything
there
is
to
know
,
"
but
I
can
tell
you
one
thing
.
The
first
question
that
’
s
always
asked
is
"
Who
last
saw
the
deceased
alive
?
"
And
the
person
who
did
is
regarded
with
suspicion
.
Now
,
Flora
Ackroyd
last
saw
her
uncle
alive
.
It
might
have
looked
very
nasty
for
her
–
very
nasty
indeed
.
It
’
s
my
opinion
–
and
I
give
it
for
what
it
’
s
worth
,
that
Ralph
Paton
is
staying
away
on
her
account
,
to
draw
suspicion
away
from
her
.
"
"
Come
,
now
,
"
I
protested
mildly
,
"
you
surely
can
’
t
suggest
that
a
young
girl
like
Flora
Ackroyd
is
capable
of
stabbing
her
uncle
in
cold
blood
?
"
"
Well
,
I
don
’
t
know
,
"
said
Miss
Gannett
.
"
I
’
ve
just
been
reading
a
book
from
the
library
about
the
underworld
of
Paris
,
and
it
says
that
some
of
the
worst
women
criminals
are
young
girls
with
the
faces
of
angels
.
"
"
That
’
s
in
France
,
"
said
Caroline
instantly
.
"
Just
so
,
"
said
the
colonel
.
"
Now
,
I
’
ll
tell
you
a
very
curious
thing
–
a
story
that
was
going
round
the
Bazaars
in
India
…
"
The
colonel
’
s
story
was
one
of
interminable
length
,
and
of
curiously
little
interest
.
A
thing
that
happened
in
India
many
years
ago
cannot
compare
for
a
moment
with
an
event
that
took
place
in
King
’
s
Abbot
the
day
before
yesterday
.
It
was
Caroline
who
brought
the
colonel
’
s
story
to
a
close
by
fortunately
going
Mah
Jong
.
After
the
slight
unpleasantness
always
caused
by
my
corrections
of
Caroline
’
s
somewhat
faulty
arithmetic
,
we
started
a
new
hand
.
"
East
Wind
passes
,
"
said
Caroline
.
"
I
’
ve
got
an
idea
of
my
own
about
Ralph
Paton
.
Three
Characters
.
But
I
’
m
keeping
it
to
myself
for
the
present
.
"
"
Are
you
,
dear
?
"
said
Miss
Gannett
.
"
Chow
–
I
mean
Pung
.
"
"
Yes
,
"
said
Caroline
firmly
.
"
Was
it
all
right
about
the
boots
?
"
asked
Miss
Gannett
.
"
Their
being
black
,
I
mean
?
"
"
Quite
all
right
,
"
said
Caroline
.
