I
thought
you
might
be
interested
,
that
is
all
,
"
he
said
mildly
.
"
Well
I
’
m
not
particularly
,
"
said
Miss
Russell
.
"
Who
is
this
Charles
Kent
anyway
?
"
"
He
is
a
man
,
mademoiselle
,
who
was
at
Fernly
on
the
night
of
the
murder
.
"
"
Really
?
"
"
Fortunately
for
him
,
he
has
an
alibi
.
At
a
quarter
to
ten
he
was
at
a
public
-
house
a
mile
from
here
.
"
"
Lucky
for
him
,
"
commented
Miss
Russell
.
"
But
we
still
do
not
know
what
he
was
doing
at
Fernly
who
it
was
he
went
to
meet
,
for
instance
.
"
"
I
’
m
afraid
I
can
’
t
help
you
at
all
,
"
said
the
housekeeper
politely
.
"
Nothing
came
to
my
ears
.
If
that
is
all
"
She
made
a
tentative
movement
as
though
to
rise
.
Poirot
stopped
her
.
"
It
is
not
quite
all
,
"
he
said
smoothly
.
"
This
morning
fresh
developments
have
arisen
.
It
seems
now
that
Mr
.
Ackroyd
was
murdered
,
not
at
a
quarter
to
ten
,
but
before
.
Between
ten
minutes
to
nine
,
when
Dr
Sheppard
left
,
and
a
quarter
to
ten
.
"
I
saw
the
colour
drain
from
the
housekeeper
’
s
face
,
leaving
it
dead
white
.
She
leaned
forward
,
her
figure
swaying
.
"
But
Miss
Ackroyd
said
–
Miss
Ackroyd
said
"
"
Miss
Ackroyd
has
admitted
that
she
was
lying
.
She
was
never
in
the
study
at
all
that
evening
.
"
Then
-
"
"
Then
it
would
seem
that
in
this
Charles
Kent
we
have
the
man
we
are
looking
for
.
He
came
to
Fernly
,
can
give
no
account
of
what
he
was
doing
there
"
"
I
can
tell
you
what
he
was
doing
there
.
He
never
touched
a
hair
of
old
Ackroyd
’
s
head
–
he
never
went
near
the
study
.
He
didn
’
t
do
it
,
I
tell
you
.
"
She
was
leaning
forward
.
That
iron
self
-
control
was
broken
through
at
last
.
Terror
and
desperation
was
in
her
face
.
"
M
.
Poirot
!
M
.
Poirot
!
Oh
,
do
believe
me
.
"
Poirot
got
up
and
came
to
her
.
He
patted
her
reassuringly
on
the
shoulder
.
"
But
yes
–
but
yes
,
I
will
believe
.
I
had
to
make
you
speak
,
you
know
.
"
For
an
instant
suspicion
flared
up
in
her
.
"
Is
what
you
said
true
?
"
"
That
Charles
Kent
is
suspected
of
the
crime
?
Yes
,
that
is
true
.
You
alone
can
save
him
,
by
telling
the
reason
for
his
being
at
Fernly
.
"
"
He
came
to
see
me
.
"
She
spoke
in
a
low
,
hurried
voice
.
"
I
went
out
to
meet
him
"
"
In
the
summer
-
house
,
yes
,
I
know
.
"
"
How
do
you
know
?
"
"
Mademoiselle
,
it
is
the
business
of
Hercule
Poirot
to
know
things
.
I
know
that
you
went
out
earlier
in
the
evening
,
that
you
left
a
message
in
the
summer
-
house
to
say
what
time
you
would
be
there
.
"
"
Yes
,
I
did
.
I
had
heard
from
him
–
saying
he
was
coming
.
I
dared
not
let
him
come
to
the
house
.
I
wrote
to
the
address
he
gave
me
and
said
I
would
meet
him
in
the
summerhouse
,
and
described
it
to
him
so
that
he
would
be
able
to
find
it
.
