"
I
’
m
fairly
up
against
it
this
time
,
"
he
said
soberly
.
The
unusual
ring
of
gravity
in
his
voice
told
me
that
he
spoke
the
truth
.
It
took
a
good
deal
to
make
Ralph
grave
.
"
In
fact
,
"
he
continued
,
"
I
can
’
t
see
my
way
ahead
…
I
’
m
damned
if
I
can
.
"
"
If
I
could
help
-
"
I
suggested
diffidently
.
But
he
shook
his
head
very
decidedly
.
"
Good
of
you
,
doctor
.
But
I
can
’
t
let
you
in
on
this
.
I
’
ve
got
to
play
a
lone
hand
.
"
He
was
silent
a
minute
and
then
repeated
in
a
slightly
different
tone
of
voice
:
"
Yes
–
I
’
ve
got
to
play
a
lone
hand
…
’
It
was
just
a
few
minutes
before
half
-
past
seven
when
I
rang
the
front
-
door
bell
of
Fernly
Park
.
The
door
was
opened
with
admirable
promptitude
by
Parker
,
the
butler
.
The
night
was
such
a
fine
one
that
I
had
preferred
to
come
on
foot
.
I
stepped
into
the
big
square
hall
and
Parker
relieved
me
of
my
overcoat
.
Just
then
Ackroyd
’
s
secretary
,
a
pleasant
young
fellow
by
the
name
of
Raymond
,
passed
through
the
hall
on
his
way
to
Ackroyd
’
s
study
,
his
hands
full
of
papers
.
"
Good
evening
,
doctor
.
Coming
to
dine
?
Or
is
this
a
professional
call
?
"
The
last
was
in
allusion
to
my
black
bag
which
I
had
laid
down
on
the
oak
chest
.
I
explained
that
I
expected
a
summons
to
a
confinement
case
at
any
moment
,
and
so
had
come
out
prepared
for
an
emergency
call
.
Raymond
nodded
,
and
went
on
his
way
,
calling
over
his
shoulder
:
"
Go
into
the
drawing
-
room
.
You
know
the
way
.
The
ladies
will
be
down
in
a
minute
.
I
must
just
take
these
papers
to
Mr
.
Ackroyd
,
and
I
’
ll
tell
him
you
’
re
here
.
"
On
Raymond
’
s
appearance
Parker
had
withdrawn
,
so
I
was
alone
in
the
hall
.
I
settled
my
tie
,
glanced
in
a
large
mirror
which
hung
there
,
and
crossed
to
the
door
directly
facing
me
,
which
was
,
as
I
knew
,
the
door
of
the
drawingroom
.
I
noticed
,
just
as
I
was
turning
the
handle
,
a
sound
from
within
–
the
shutting
down
of
a
window
,
I
took
it
to
be
.
I
noticed
it
,
I
may
say
,
quite
mechanically
,
without
attaching
any
importance
to
it
at
the
time
.
