Mr
.
Hammond
seemed
a
little
surprised
.
"
A
thousand
pounds
to
his
housekeeper
.
Miss
Russell
;
fifty
pounds
to
the
cook
,
Emma
Cooper
;
five
hundred
pounds
to
his
secretary
,
Mr
.
Geoffrey
Raymond
.
Then
to
various
hospitals
-
"
Poirot
held
up
his
hand
.
"
Ah
!
the
charitable
bequests
,
they
interest
me
not
.
"
"
Quite
so
.
The
income
on
ten
thousand
pounds
"
worth
of
shares
to
be
paid
to
Mrs
.
Cecil
Ackroyd
during
her
lifetime
.
Miss
Flora
Ackroyd
inherits
twenty
thousand
pounds
outright
.
The
residue
–
including
this
property
,
and
the
shares
in
Ackroyd
and
Son
–
to
his
adopted
son
,
Ralph
Paton
.
"
"
Mr
.
Ackroyd
possessed
a
large
fortune
?
"
"
A
very
large
fortune
.
Captain
Paton
will
be
an
exceedingly
wealthy
young
man
.
"
There
was
a
silence
.
Poirot
and
the
lawyer
looked
at
each
other
.
"
Mr
.
Hammond
,
"
came
Mrs
.
Ackroyd
’
s
voice
plaintively
from
the
fireplace
.
The
lawyer
answered
the
summons
.
Poirot
took
my
arm
and
drew
me
right
into
the
window
.
"
Regard
the
irises
,
"
he
remarked
in
a
rather
loud
voice
.
"
Magnificent
,
are
they
not
?
A
straight
and
pleasing
effect
.
"
At
the
same
time
I
felt
the
pressure
of
his
hand
on
my
arm
,
and
he
added
in
a
low
tone
:
"
Do
you
really
wish
to
aid
me
?
To
take
part
in
this
investigation
?
"
"
Yes
,
indeed
,
"
I
said
eagerly
.
"
There
’
s
nothing
I
should
like
better
.
You
don
’
t
know
what
a
dull
old
fogey
’
s
life
I
lead
.
Never
anything
out
of
the
ordinary
.
"
"
Good
,
we
will
be
colleagues
then
.
In
a
minute
or
two
I
fancy
Major
Blunt
will
join
us
.
He
is
not
happy
with
the
good
mamma
.
Now
there
are
some
things
I
want
to
know
but
I
do
not
wish
to
seem
to
want
to
know
them
.
You
comprehend
?
So
it
will
be
your
part
to
ask
the
questions
.
"
"
What
questions
do
you
want
me
to
ask
?
"
I
asked
apprehensively
.
"
I
want
you
to
introduce
the
name
of
Mrs
.
Ferrars
.
"
"
Yes
?
"
"
Speak
of
her
in
a
natural
fashion
.
Ask
him
if
he
was
down
here
when
her
husband
died
.
You
understand
the
kind
of
thing
I
mean
.
And
while
he
replies
,
watch
his
face
without
seeming
to
watch
it
.
C
’
est
compris
!
"
There
was
no
time
for
more
,
for
at
that
minute
,
as
Poirot
had
prophesied
.
Blunt
left
the
others
in
his
abrupt
fashion
and
came
over
to
us
.
I
suggested
strolling
on
the
terrace
,
and
he
acquiesced
.
