"
I
am
inclined
to
believe
you
,
my
friend
,
"
said
Poirot
.
"
You
have
not
the
nerve
the
courage
.
But
I
must
have
the
truth
.
"
"
I
ll
tell
you
anything
,
sir
,
anything
you
want
to
know
.
Il
s
true
that
I
tried
to
listen
that
night
.
A
word
or
two
I
heard
made
me
curious
.
And
Mr
.
Ackroyd
s
wanting
not
to
be
disturbed
,
and
shutting
himself
up
with
the
doctor
the
way
he
did
.
It
s
God
s
own
truth
what
I
told
the
police
.
I
heard
the
word
blackmail
,
sir
,
and
well
"
He
paused
.
"
You
thought
there
might
be
something
in
it
for
you
?
"
suggested
Poirot
smoothly
.

"
Well
well
,
yes
,
I
did
,
sir
.
I
thought
that
if
Mr
.
Ackroyd
was
being
blackmailed
,
why
shouldn
t
I
have
a
share
of
the
pickings
?
"
A
very
curious
expression
passed
over
Poirot
s
face
.
He
leaned
forward
.
"
Had
you
any
reason
to
suppose
before
that
night
that
Mr
.
Ackroyd
was
being
blackmailed
?
"
"
No
,
indeed
,
sir
.
It
was
a
great
surprise
to
me
.
Such
a
regular
gentleman
in
all
his
habits
.
"
"
How
much
did
you
overhear
?
"
"
Not
very
much
,
sir
.
There
seemed
what
I
might
call
a
spite
against
me
.
Of
course
I
had
to
attend
to
my
duties
in
the
pantry
.
And
when
I
did
creep
along
once
or
twice
to
the
study
it
was
no
use
.
The
first
time
Dr
Sheppard
came
out
and
almost
caught
me
in
the
act
,
and
another
time
Mr
.
Raymond
passed
me
in
the
big
hall
and
went
that
way
,
so
I
knew
it
was
no
use
;
and
when
I
went
with
the
tray
.
Miss
Flora
headed
me
off
.
"
Poirot
stared
for
a
long
time
at
the
man
,
as
if
to
test
his
sincerity
.
Parker
returned
his
gaze
earnestly
.

"
I
hope
you
believe
me
,
sir
.
I
ve
been
afraid
all
along
the
police
would
rake
up
that
old
business
with
Major
Ellerby
and
be
suspicious
of
me
in
consequence
.
"
"
Eh
bien
,
"
said
Poirot
at
last
.
"
I
am
disposed
to
believe
you
.
But
there
is
one
thing
I
must
request
of
you
to
show
me
your
bank
-
book
.
You
have
a
bank
-
book
,
I
presume
?
"
"
Yes
,
sir
,
as
a
matter
of
fact
,
I
have
it
with
me
now
.
"
With
no
sign
of
confusion
,
he
produced
it
from
his
pocket
.
Poirot
took
the
slim
,
green
-
covered
book
and
perused
the
entries
.
