Have
I
not
told
you
at
least
thirty
-
six
times
that
it
is
useless
to
conceal
things
from
Hercule
Poirot
?
"
he
demanded
.
"
That
in
such
a
case
he
finds
out
?
"
He
turned
to
the
others
.
"
One
day
,
you
remember
,
we
held
a
little
seance
about
a
table
–
just
the
six
of
us
.
I
accused
the
other
five
persons
present
of
concealing
something
from
me
.
Four
of
them
gave
up
their
secret
.
Dr
Sheppard
did
not
give
up
his
.
But
all
along
I
have
had
my
suspicions
.
Dr
Sheppard
went
to
the
Three
Boars
that
night
hoping
to
find
Ralph
.
He
did
not
find
him
there
;
but
supposing
,
I
said
to
myself
,
that
he
met
him
in
the
street
on
his
way
home
?
Dr
Sheppard
was
a
friend
of
Captain
Paton
’
s
,
and
he
had
come
straight
from
the
scene
of
the
crime
.
He
must
know
that
things
looked
very
black
against
him
.
Perhaps
he
knew
more
than
the
general
public
did
"
"
I
did
,
"
I
said
ruefully
.
"
I
suppose
I
might
as
well
make
a
clean
breast
of
things
now
.
I
went
to
see
Ralph
that
afternoon
.
At
first
he
refused
to
take
me
into
his
confidence
,
but
later
he
told
me
about
his
marriage
,
and
the
hole
he
was
in
.
As
soon
as
the
murder
was
discovered
,
I
realized
that
once
the
facts
were
known
,
suspicion
could
not
fail
to
attach
to
Ralph
–
or
,
if
not
to
him
,
to
the
girl
he
loved
.
That
night
I
put
the
facts
plainly
before
him
.
The
thought
of
having
possibly
to
give
evidence
which
might
incriminate
his
wife
made
him
resolve
at
all
costs
to
–
to
"
I
hesitated
,
and
Ralph
filled
up
the
gap
.
"
To
do
a
bunk
,
"
he
said
graphically
.
"
You
see
,
Ursula
left
me
to
go
back
to
the
house
.
I
thought
it
possible
that
she
might
have
attempted
to
have
another
interview
with
my
stepfather
.
He
had
already
been
very
rude
to
her
that
afternoon
.
It
occurred
to
me
that
he
might
have
so
insulted
her
–
in
such
an
unforgivable
manner
–
that
without
knowing
what
she
was
doing
"
.
He
stopped
.
Ursula
released
her
hand
from
his
,
and
stepped
back
.
"
You
thought
that
,
Ralph
!
You
actually
thought
that
I
might
have
done
it
?
"
"
Let
us
get
back
to
the
culpable
conduct
of
Dr
Sheppard
,
"
said
Poirot
drily
.
"
Dr
Sheppard
consented
to
do
what
he
could
to
help
him
.
He
was
successful
in
hiding
Captain
Paton
from
the
police
.
"
"
Where
?
"
asked
Raymond
.
"
In
his
own
house
?
"
"
Ah
,
no
,
indeed
,
"
said
Poirot
.
"
You
should
ask
yourself
the
question
that
I
did
.
If
the
good
doctor
is
concealing
the
young
man
,
what
place
would
he
choose
?
It
must
necessarily
be
somewhere
near
at
hand
.
I
think
of
Cranchester
.
A
hotel
?
No
.
Lodgings
?
Even
more
emphatically
,
no
.
Where
,
then
?
Ah
!
I
have
it
.
A
nursing
home
.
A
home
for
the
mentally
unfit
.
I
test
my
theory
.
I
invent
a
nephew
with
mental
trouble
.
I
consult
Mademoiselle
Sheppard
as
to
suitable
homes
.
She
gives
me
the
names
of
two
near
Cranchester
to
which
her
brother
has
sent
patients
.
I
make
inquiries
.
Yes
,
at
one
of
them
a
patient
was
brought
there
by
the
doctor
himself
early
on
Saturday
morning
.
That
patient
,
though
known
by
another
name
,
I
had
no
difficulty
in
identifying
as
Captain
Paton
.
After
certain
necessary
formalities
,
I
was
allowed
to
bring
him
away
.
He
arrived
at
my
house
in
the
early
hours
of
yesterday
morning
.
"
I
looked
at
him
ruefully
.
