Now
,
veronal
,
for
instance
-
"
I
proceeded
.
But
,
strangely
enough
,
she
didn
’
t
seem
interested
in
veronal
.
Instead
she
changed
the
subject
,
and
asked
me
if
it
was
true
that
there
were
certain
poisons
so
rare
as
to
baffle
detection
.
"
Ah
!
"
I
said
.
"
You
’
ve
been
reading
detective
stories
.
"
She
admitted
that
she
had
"
The
essence
of
a
detective
story
,
"
I
said
,
"
is
to
have
a
rare
poison
–
if
possible
something
from
South
America
,
that
nobody
has
ever
heard
of
-
something
that
one
obscure
tribe
of
savages
use
to
poison
their
arrows
with
.
Death
is
instantaneous
,
and
Western
science
is
powerless
to
detect
it
.
Is
that
the
kind
of
thing
you
mean
?
"
"
Yes
.
Is
there
really
such
a
thing
?
"
I
shook
my
head
regretfully
.
"
I
’
m
afraid
there
isn
’
t
.
There
’
s
curare
,
of
course
.
"
I
told
her
a
good
deal
about
curare
,
but
she
seemed
to
have
lost
interest
once
more
.
She
asked
me
if
I
had
any
in
my
poison
cupboard
,
and
when
I
replied
in
the
negative
I
fancy
I
fell
in
her
estimation
.
She
said
she
must
be
getting
back
,
and
I
saw
her
out
at
the
surgery
door
just
as
the
luncheon
gong
went
.
I
should
never
have
suspected
Miss
Russell
of
a
fondness
for
detective
stories
.
It
pleases
me
very
much
to
think
of
her
stepping
out
of
the
housekeeper
’
s
room
to
rebuke
a
delinquent
housemaid
,
and
then
returning
to
a
comfortable
perusal
of
The
Mystery
of
the
Seventh
Death
,
or
something
of
the
kind
.
I
told
Caroline
at
lunch
that
I
should
be
dining
at
Fernly
.
She
expressed
no
objection
–
on
the
contrary
.
"
Excellent
,
"
she
said
.
"
You
’
ll
hear
all
about
it
.
By
the
way
,
what
is
the
trouble
with
Ralph
?
"
"
With
Ralph
?
"
I
said
,
surprised
;
"
there
isn
’
t
any
.
"
"
Then
why
is
he
staying
at
the
Three
Boars
instead
of
at
Fernly
Park
?
"
I
did
not
for
a
minute
question
Caroline
’
s
statement
that
Ralph
Paton
was
staying
at
the
local
inn
.
That
Caroline
said
so
was
enough
for
me
.
