But
after
all
,
happiness
comes
first
.
What
dear
Flora
needs
is
an
older
man
–
someone
steady
annd
reliable
,
and
then
Hector
is
really
a
very
distinguished
man
in
his
way
.
You
saw
the
news
of
Ralph
’
s
arrest
in
the
paper
this
morning
?
"
"
Yes
,
"
I
said
,
"
I
did
.
"
"
Horrible
.
"
Mrs
.
Ackroyd
closed
her
eyes
and
shuddered
.
"
Geoffrey
Raymond
was
in
a
terrible
way
.
Rang
up
Liverpool
.
But
they
wouldn
’
t
tell
him
anything
at
the
police
station
there
.
In
fact
,
they
said
they
hadn
’
t
arrested
Ralph
at
all
.
Mr
.
Raymond
insists
that
it
’
s
all
a
mistake
–
a
~
what
do
they
call
it
?
–
canard
of
the
newspaper
’
s
.
I
’
ve
forbidden
it
to
be
mentioned
before
the
servants
.
Such
a
terrible
disgrace
.
Fancy
if
Flora
had
actually
been
married
to
him
.
"
Mrs
.
Ackroyd
shut
her
eyes
in
anguish
.
I
began
to
wonder
how
soon
I
should
be
able
to
deliver
Poirot
’
s
invitation
.
Before
I
had
time
to
speak
,
Mrs
.
Ackroyd
was
off
again
.
"
You
were
here
yesterday
,
weren
’
t
you
,
with
that
dreadful
Inspector
Raglan
?
Brute
of
a
man
–
he
terrified
Flora
into
saying
she
took
that
money
from
poor
Roger
’
s
room
.
And
the
matter
was
so
simple
,
really
.
The
dear
child
wanted
to
borrow
a
few
pounds
,
didn
’
t
like
to
disturb
her
uncle
since
he
’
d
given
strict
orders
against
it
.
But
knowing
where
he
kept
his
notes
she
went
there
and
took
what
she
needed
.
"
"
Is
that
Flora
’
s
account
of
the
matter
?
"
I
asked
.
"
My
dear
doctor
,
you
know
what
girls
are
nowadays
.
So
easily
acted
on
by
suggestion
.
You
,
of
course
,
know
all
about
hypnosis
and
that
sort
of
thing
.
The
inspector
shouts
at
her
,
says
the
word
"
steal
"
over
and
over
again
,
until
the
poor
child
gets
an
inhibition
–
or
is
it
a
complex
?
–
I
always
mix
up
those
two
words
–
and
actually
thinks
herself
that
she
has
stolen
the
money
.
I
saw
at
once
how
it
was
.
But
I
can
’
t
be
too
thankful
for
the
whole
misunderstanding
in
one
way
–
it
seems
to
have
brought
those
two
together
–
Hector
and
Flora
,
I
mean
.
And
I
assure
you
that
I
have
been
very
much
worried
about
Flora
in
the
past
:
why
,
at
one
time
I
actually
thought
there
was
going
to
be
some
kind
of
understanding
between
her
and
young
Raymond
.
Just
think
of
it
!
"
Mrs
.
Ackroyd
’
s
voice
rose
in
shrill
horror
.
"
A
private
secretary
–
with
practically
no
means
of
his
own
.
"
"
It
would
have
been
a
severe
blow
to
you
,
"
I
said
.
"
Now
,
Mrs
.
Ackroyd
,
I
’
ve
got
a
message
for
you
from
M
.
Hercule
Poirot
.
"
"
For
me
?
"
Mrs
.
Ackroyd
looked
quite
alarmed
.
I
hastened
to
reassure
her
,
and
I
explained
what
Poirot
wanted
.
"
Certainly
,
"
said
Mrs
.
Ackroyd
rather
doubtfully
.
"
I
suppose
we
must
come
if
M
.
Poirot
says
so
.
But
what
is
it
all
about
?
I
like
to
know
beforehand
.
"
I
assured
the
lady
truthfully
that
I
myself
did
not
know
any
more
than
she
did
.
"
Very
well
,
"
said
Mrs
.
