Mademoiselle
,
I
must
ask
you
one
question
,
and
you
must
answer
it
truthfully
,
for
on
it
everything
may
hang
:
What
time
was
it
when
you
parted
from
Captain
Ralph
Paton
in
the
summer
-
house
?
Now
,
take
a
little
minute
so
that
your
answer
may
be
very
exact
.
"
The
girl
gave
a
half
laugh
,
bitter
enough
in
all
conscience
.
"
Do
you
think
I
haven
t
gone
over
that
again
and
again
in
my
own
mind
?
It
was
just
half
-
past
nine
when
I
went
out
to
meet
him
.
Major
Blunt
was
walking
up
and
down
the
terrace
,
so
I
had
to
go
round
through
the
bushes
to
avoid
him
.
It
must
have
been
about
twenty
-
seven
minutes
to
ten
when
I
reached
the
summer
-
house
.
Ralph
was
waiting
for
me
.
I
was
with
him
ten
minutes
not
longer
,
for
it
was
just
a
quarter
to
ten
when
I
got
back
to
the
house
.
"
I
saw
now
the
insistence
of
her
question
the
other
day
.
If
only
Ackroyd
could
have
been
proved
to
have
been
killed
before
a
quarter
to
ten
,
and
not
after
.
I
saw
the
reflection
of
that
thought
in
Poirot
s
next
question
.

Who
left
the
summer
-
house
first
?
"
"
I
did
.
"
"
Leaving
Ralph
Paton
in
the
summerhouse
?
"
"
Yes
but
you
don
t
think
"
"
Mademoiselle
,
it
is
of
no
importance
what
I
think
.
What
did
you
do
when
you
got
back
to
the
house
?
"
"
I
went
up
to
my
room
.
"
"
And
stayed
there
until
when
?
"
"
Until
about
ten
o
clock
.
"
"
Is
there
anyone
who
can
prove
that
?
"
"
Prove
?
That
I
was
in
my
room
,
you
mean
?
Oh
!
no
.
But
surely
oh
!
I
see
,
they
might
think
they
might
think
"
I
saw
the
dawning
horror
in
her
eyes
.
Poirot
finished
the
sentence
for
her
.
"
That
it
was
you
who
entered
by
the
window
and
stabbed
Mr
.
Ackroyd
as
he
sat
in
his
chair
?
Yes
,
they
might
think
just
that
.
"
"
Nobody
but
a
fool
would
think
any
such
thing
,
"
said
Caroline
indignantly
.

She
patted
Ursula
on
the
shoulder
.
The
girl
had
her
face
hidden
in
her
hands
.
"
Horrible
,
"
she
was
murmuring
.
"
Horrible
.
"
Caroline
gave
her
a
friendly
shake
.
