The
inspector
then
showed
us
various
enlarged
photographs
of
the
fingerprints
,
and
proceeded
to
become
technical
on
the
subject
of
loops
and
whorls
.
"
Come
now
,
"
he
said
at
last
,
annoyed
by
Poirot
’
s
detached
manner
,
"
you
’
ve
got
to
admit
that
those
prints
were
made
by
someone
who
was
in
the
house
that
night
?
"
"
Bien
entendu
,
"
said
Poirot
,
nodding
his
head
.
"
Well
,
I
’
ve
taken
the
prints
of
every
member
of
the
household
,
everyone
,
mind
you
,
from
the
old
lady
down
to
the
kitchenmaid
.
"
I
don
’
t
think
Mrs
.
Ackroyd
would
enjoy
being
referred
to
as
the
old
lady
.
She
must
spend
a
considerable
amount
on
cosmetics
.
"
Everyone
’
s
,
"
repeated
the
inspector
fussily
.
"
Including
mine
,
"
I
said
drily
.
"
Very
well
.
None
of
them
correspond
.
That
leaves
us
two
alternatives
.
Ralph
Paton
,
or
the
mysterious
stranger
the
doctor
here
tells
us
about
.
When
we
get
hold
of
those
two
"
"
Much
valuable
time
may
have
been
lost
,
"
broke
in
Poirot
.
"
I
don
’
t
quite
get
you
,
Mr
.
Poirot
.
"
"
You
have
taken
the
prints
of
everyone
in
the
house
,
you
say
,
"
murmured
Poirot
.
"
Is
that
the
exact
truth
you
are
telling
me
there
,
M
.
l
’
Inspecteur
?
"
"
Certainly
.
"
"
Without
overlooking
anyone
?
"
"
Without
overlooking
anyone
.
"
"
The
quick
or
the
dead
?
"
For
a
moment
the
inspector
looked
bewildered
at
what
he
took
to
be
a
religious
observation
.
Then
he
reacted
slowly
.
"
You
mean
-
?
"
"
The
dead
,
M
.
1
’
Inspecteur
.
"
The
inspector
still
took
a
minute
or
two
to
understand
.
"
I
am
suggesting
,
"
said
Poirot
placidly
,
"
that
the
fingerprints
on
the
dagger
handle
are
those
of
Mr
.
Ackroyd
himself
.
It
is
an
easy
matter
to
verify
.
His
body
is
still
available
.
"
"
But
why
?
What
would
be
the
point
of
it
?
You
’
re
surely
not
suggesting
suicide
,
Mr
.
Poirot
?
"
Ah
!
no
.
My
theory
is
that
the
murderer
wore
gloves
or
wrapped
something
round
his
hand
.
After
the
blow
was
struck
,
he
picked
up
the
victim
’
s
hand
and
closed
it
round
the
dagger
handle
.
"
"
But
why
?
"
Poirot
shrugged
his
shoulders
again
.
"
To
make
a
confusing
case
even
more
confusing
.
"
"
Well
,
"
said
the
inspector
.
"
I
’
ll
look
into
it
.
What
gave
you
the
idea
in
the
first
place
?
"
"
When
you
were
so
kind
as
to
show
me
the
dagger
and
draw
attention
to
the
fingerprints
.
I
know
very
little
of
loops
and
whorls
–
see
,
I
confess
my
ignorance
frankly
.
But
it
did
occur
to
me
that
the
position
of
the
prints
was
somewhat
awkward
.
Not
so
would
I
have
held
a
dagger
in
order
to
strike
.
