Never
saw
him
after
dinner
,
"
he
volunteered
.
The
inspector
turned
once
more
to
Raymond
.
"
You
didn
’
t
overhear
any
of
the
conversation
going
on
,
did
you
,
sir
?
"
"
I
did
catch
just
a
fragment
of
it
,
"
said
the
secretary
,
"
and
,
supposing
as
I
did
that
it
was
Dr
Sheppard
who
was
with
Mr
.
Ackroyd
,
that
fragment
struck
me
as
distinctly
odd
.
As
far
as
I
can
remember
,
the
exact
words
were
these
.
Mr
.
Ackroyd
was
speaking
.
"
The
calls
on
my
purse
have
been
so
frequent
of
late
"
–
that
is
what
he
was
saying
–
"
of
late
,
that
I
fear
it
is
impossible
for
me
to
accede
to
your
request
…
"
I
went
away
again
at
once
,
of
course
,
so
I
did
not
hear
any
more
.
But
I
rather
wondered
because
Dr
Sheppard
"
"
–
Does
not
ask
for
loans
for
himself
or
subscriptions
for
others
,
"
I
finished
.
"
A
demand
for
money
,
"
said
the
inspector
musingly
.
"
It
may
be
that
here
we
have
a
very
important
clue
.
"
He
turned
to
the
butler
.
"
You
say
,
Parker
,
that
nobody
was
admitted
by
the
front
door
this
evening
?
"
"
That
’
s
what
I
say
,
sir
.
"
"
Then
it
seems
almost
certain
that
Mr
.
Ackroyd
himself
must
have
admitted
this
stranger
.
But
I
don
’
t
quite
see
"
The
inspector
went
into
a
kind
of
day
-
dream
for
some
minutes
.
"
One
thing
’
s
clear
,
"
he
said
at
length
,
rousing
himself
from
his
absorption
,
"
Mr
.
Ackroyd
was
alive
and
well
at
nine
-
thirty
.
That
is
the
last
moment
at
which
he
is
known
to
have
been
alive
.
"
Parker
gave
vent
to
an
apologetic
cough
which
brought
the
inspector
’
s
eyes
on
him
at
once
.
"
Well
?
"
he
said
sharply
.
"
If
you
’
ll
excuse
me
,
sir
.
Miss
Flora
saw
him
after
that
.
"
"
Miss
Flora
?
"
"
Yes
,
sir
.
About
a
quarter
to
ten
that
would
be
.
It
was
after
that
that
she
told
me
Mr
.
Ackroyd
wasn
’
t
to
be
disturbed
again
tonight
.
"
"
Did
he
send
her
to
you
with
that
message
?
"
"
Not
exactly
,
sir
.
I
was
bringing
a
tray
with
soda
and
whisky
when
Miss
Flora
,
who
was
just
coming
out
of
this
room
,
stopped
me
and
said
her
uncle
didn
’
t
want
to
be
disturbed
.
"
The
inspector
looked
at
the
butler
with
rather
closer
attention
than
he
had
bestowed
on
him
up
to
now
.
"
You
’
d
already
been
told
that
Mr
.
