Ackroyd
did
purchase
a
dictaphone
from
their
representative
.
Why
he
concealed
the
matter
from
you
,
I
do
not
know
.
"
"
He
must
have
meant
to
surprise
me
with
it
,
"
murmured
Raymond
.
"
He
had
quite
a
childish
love
of
surprising
people
.
Meant
to
keep
it
up
his
sleeve
for
a
day
or
so
.
Probably
was
playing
with
it
like
a
new
toy
.
Yes
,
it
fits
in
.
You
’
re
quite
right
–
no
one
would
use
quite
those
words
in
casual
conversation
.
’
"
It
explains
,
too
,
"
said
Poirot
,
"
why
Major
Blunt
thought
it
was
you
who
were
in
the
study
.
Such
scraps
as
came
to
him
were
fragments
of
dictation
,
and
so
his
subconscious
mind
deduced
that
you
were
with
him
.
His
conscious
mind
was
occupied
with
something
quite
different
–
the
white
figure
he
had
caught
a
glimpse
of
.
He
fancied
it
was
Miss
Ackroyd
.
Really
,
of
course
,
it
was
Ursula
Bourne
’
s
white
apron
he
saw
as
she
was
stealing
down
to
the
summerhouse
.
"
Raymond
had
recovered
from
his
first
surprise
.
"
All
the
same
,
"
he
remarked
,
"
this
discovery
of
yours
,
brilliant
though
it
is
(
I
’
m
quite
sure
I
should
never
have
thought
of
it
)
,
leaves
the
essential
position
unchanged
.
Mr
.
Ackroyd
was
alive
at
nine
-
thirty
,
since
he
was
speaking
into
the
dictaphone
.
It
seems
clear
that
the
man
Charles
Kent
was
really
off
the
premises
by
then
.
As
to
Ralph
Paton
-
?
"
He
hesitated
,
glancing
at
Ursula
.
Her
colour
flared
up
,
but
she
answered
steadily
enough
.
"
Ralph
and
I
parted
just
before
a
quarter
to
ten
.
He
never
went
near
the
house
,
I
am
sure
of
that
He
had
no
intention
of
doing
so
.
The
last
thing
on
earth
he
wanted
was
to
face
his
stepfather
.
He
would
have
funked
it
badly
.
"
"
It
isn
’
t
that
I
doubt
your
story
for
a
moment
,
"
explained
Raymond
.
"
I
’
ve
always
been
quite
sure
Captain
Paton
was
innocent
.
But
one
has
to
think
of
a
court
of
law
–
and
the
questions
that
would
be
asked
.
He
is
in
a
most
unfortunate
position
,
but
if
he
were
to
come
forward
"
It
was
a
very
uncomfortable
minute
for
me
.
I
hardly
took
in
what
happened
next
,
but
there
were
exclamations
and
cries
of
surprise
!
When
I
was
sufficiently
master
of
myself
to
be
able
to
realize
what
was
going
on
,
Ralph
Paton
was
standing
by
his
wife
,
her
hand
in
his
,
and
he
was
smiling
across
the
room
at
me
.
Poirot
,
too
,
was
smiling
,
and
at
the
same
time
shaking
an
eloquent
finger
at
me
.
