Ackroyd
didn
t
want
to
be
disturbed
,
hadn
t
you
?
"
Parker
began
to
stammer
.
His
hands
shook
.
392
"
Yes
,
sir
.
Yes
,
sir
.
Quite
so
,
sir
.
"
"
And
yet
you
were
proposing
to
do
so
?
"
"
I
d
forgotten
,
sir
.
At
least
I
mean
,
I
always
bring
the
whisky
and
soda
about
that
time
,
sir
,
and
ask
if
there
s
anything
more
,
and
I
thought
well
,
I
was
doing
as
usual
without
thinking
.
"
It
was
at
this
moment
that
it
began
to
dawn
upon
me
that
Parker
was
most
suspiciously
flustered
.
The
man
was
shaking
and
twitching
all
over
.
393
"
H
m
,
"
said
the
inspector
.
"
I
must
see
Miss
Ackroyd
at
once
.

For
the
moment
we
ll
leave
this
room
exactly
as
it
is
.
I
can
return
here
after
I
ve
heard
what
Miss
Ackroyd
has
to
tell
me
.
I
shall
just
take
the
precaution
of
shutting
and
bolting
the
window
.
"
This
precaution
accomplished
,
he
led
the
way
into
the
hall
and
we
followed
him
.
He
paused
a
moment
,
as
he
glanced
up
at
the
little
staircase
,
then
spoke
over
his
shoulder
to
the
constable
.
395
"
Jones
,
you
d
better
stay
here
.
Don
t
let
anyone
go
into
that
room
.
"
Parker
interposed
deferentially
.
396
"
If
you
ll
excuse
me
,
sir
.
If
you
were
to
lock
the
door
into
the
main
hall
,
nobody
could
gain
access
to
this
part
.
That
staircase
leads
only
to
Mr
.
Ackroyd
s
bedroom
and
bathroom
.
There
is
no
communication
with
the
other
part
of
the
house
.
There
once
was
a
door
through
,
but
Mr
.
Ackroyd
had
it
blocked
up
.
He
liked
to
feel
that
his
suite
was
entirely
private
.
397
"
To
make
things
clear
and
explain
the
position
,
I
have
appended
a
rough
sketch
of
the
right
-
hand
wing
of
the
house
.

The
small
staircase
leads
,
as
Parker
explained
,
to
a
big
bedroom
made
by
two
being
knocked
into
one
,
and
an
adjoining
bathroom
and
lavatory
.
399
The
inspector
took
in
the
position
at
a
glance
.
We
went
through
into
the
large
hall
and
he
locked
the
door
behind
him
,
slipping
the
key
into
his
pocket
.
Then
he
gave
the
constable
some
low
-
voiced
instructions
,
and
the
latter
prepared
to
depart
.

"
We
must
get
busy
on
those
shoe
tracks
,
"
explained
the
inspector
.
"
But
first
of
all
,
I
must
have
a
word
with
Miss
Ackroyd
.
She
was
the
last
person
to
see
her
uncle
alive
.
