There
was
the
young
man
who
came
on
Wednesday
,
sir
,
"
he
said
at
last
.
"
From
Curtis
and
Troute
,
I
understood
he
was
.
"
Raymond
moved
this
aside
with
an
impatient
hand
.
"
Oh
!
yes
,
I
remember
,
but
that
is
not
the
kind
of
stranger
this
gentleman
means
.
"
He
turned
to
Poirot
.
"
Mr
.
Ackroyd
had
some
idea
of
purchasing
a
dictaphone
,
"
he
explained
.
"
It
would
have
enabled
us
to
get
through
a
lot
more
work
in
a
limited
time
.
The
firm
in
question
sent
down
their
representative
,
but
nothing
came
of
it
.
Mr
.
Ackroyd
did
not
make
up
his
mind
to
purchase
.
"
Poirot
turned
to
the
butler
.
"
Can
you
describe
this
young
man
to
me
,
my
good
Parker
?
"
"
He
was
fair
-
haired
,
sir
,
and
short
.
Very
neatly
dressed
in
a
blue
serge
suit
.
A
very
presentable
young
man
,
sir
,
for
his
station
in
life
.
"
Poirot
turned
to
me
.
"
The
man
you
met
outside
the
gate
,
doctor
,
was
tall
,
was
he
not
?
"
"
Yes
,
"
I
said
.
"
Somewhere
about
six
feet
,
I
should
say
.
"
"
There
is
nothing
in
that
,
then
,
"
declared
the
Belgian
.
"
I
thank
you
,
Parker
.
"
The
butler
spoke
to
Raymond
.
"
Mr
.
Hammond
has
just
arrived
,
sir
,
"
he
said
.
"
He
is
anxious
to
know
if
he
can
be
of
any
service
,
and
he
would
be
glad
to
have
a
word
with
you
.
"
"
I
’
ll
come
at
once
,
"
said
the
young
man
.
He
hurried
out
.
Poirot
looked
inquiringly
at
the
chief
constable
.
"
The
family
solicitor
,
M
.
Poirot
,
"
said
the
latter
.
"
It
is
a
busy
time
for
this
young
M
.
Raymond
,
"
murmured
M
.
Poirot
.
"
He
has
the
air
efficient
,
that
one
.
"
"
I
believe
Mr
.
Ackroyd
considered
him
a
most
able
secretary
.
"
"
He
has
been
here
–
how
long
?
"
"
Just
on
two
years
,
I
fancy
.
"
"
His
duties
he
fulfils
punctiliously
.
Of
that
I
am
sure
.
In
what
manner
does
he
amuse
himself
?
Does
he
go
in
for
le
sport
?
"
"
Private
secretaries
haven
’
t
much
time
for
that
sort
of
thing
,
"
said
Colonel
Melrose
,
smiling
.
"
Raymond
plays
golf
,
I
believe
.
And
tennis
in
the
summer
time
.
"
"
He
does
not
attend
the
courses
-
1
should
say
the
running
of
the
horses
?
"
"
Race
meetings
?
No
,
I
don
’
t
think
he
’
s
interested
in
racing
.
"
Poirot
nodded
and
seemed
to
lose
interest
.
He
glanced
slowly
round
the
study
.
"
I
have
seen
,
I
think
,
all
that
there
is
to
be
seen
here
.
"
I
,
too
,
looked
round
.
