Naturally
,
but
I
’
m
not
over
sanguine
as
to
the
result
.
You
know
what
that
station
is
like
.
"
I
did
.
King
’
s
Abbot
is
a
mere
village
,
but
its
station
happens
to
be
an
important
junction
.
Most
of
the
big
expresses
stop
there
,
and
trains
are
shunted
,
re
-
sorted
,
and
made
up
.
It
has
two
or
three
public
telephone
boxes
.
At
that
time
of
night
,
three
local
trains
come
in
close
upon
each
other
,
to
catch
the
connection
with
the
express
for
the
north
which
comes
in
at
10
.
19
and
leaves
at
10
.
23
.
The
whole
place
is
in
a
bustle
,
and
the
chances
of
one
particular
person
being
noticed
telephoning
or
getting
into
the
express
are
very
small
indeed
.
"
But
why
telephone
at
all
?
"
demanded
Melrose
.
"
That
is
what
I
find
so
extraordinary
.
There
seems
no
rhyme
or
reason
in
the
thing
.
"
Poirot
carefully
straightened
a
china
ornament
on
one
of
the
bookcases
.
"
Be
sure
there
was
a
reason
,
"
he
said
over
his
shoulder
.
"
But
what
reason
could
it
be
?
"
"
When
we
know
that
,
we
shall
know
everything
.
This
case
is
very
curious
and
very
interesting
.
"
There
was
something
almost
indescribable
in
the
way
he
said
those
last
words
.
I
felt
that
he
was
looking
at
the
case
from
some
peculiar
angle
of
his
own
,
and
what
he
saw
I
could
not
tell
.
He
went
to
the
window
and
stood
there
looking
out
.
"
You
say
it
was
nine
o
’
clock
,
Dr
Sheppard
,
when
you
met
this
stranger
outside
the
gate
?
"
He
asked
the
question
without
turning
round
.
"
Yes
,
"
I
replied
.
"
I
heard
the
church
clock
chime
the
hour
.
"
"
How
long
would
it
take
him
to
reach
the
house
–
to
reach
this
window
,
for
instance
?
"
"
Five
minutes
at
the
outside
.
Two
or
three
minutes
only
if
he
took
the
path
at
the
right
of
the
drive
and
came
straight
here
.
"
"
But
to
do
that
he
would
have
to
know
the
way
.
How
can
I
explain
myself
?
–
it
would
mean
that
he
had
been
here
before
–
that
he
knew
his
surroundings
.
"
"
That
is
true
,
"
replied
Colonel
Melrose
.
"
We
could
find
out
,
doubtless
,
if
Mr
.
Ackroyd
had
received
any
strangers
during
the
past
week
?
"
"
Young
Raymond
could
tell
us
that
,
"
I
said
.
"
Or
Parker
,
"
suggested
Colonel
Melrose
.
