This
proceeding
of
Poirot
’
s
,
in
respect
of
the
cocoa
,
puzzled
me
intensely
.
I
could
see
neither
rhyme
nor
reason
in
it
.
However
,
my
confidence
in
him
,
which
at
one
time
had
rather
waned
,
was
fully
restored
since
his
belief
in
Alfred
Inglethorp
’
s
innocence
had
been
so
triumphantly
vindicated
.
The
funeral
of
Mrs
.
Inglethorp
took
place
the
following
day
,
and
on
Monday
,
as
I
came
down
to
a
late
breakfast
,
John
drew
me
aside
,
and
informed
me
that
Mr
.
Inglethorp
was
leaving
that
morning
,
to
take
up
his
quarters
at
the
Stylites
Arms
until
he
should
have
completed
his
plans
.
“
And
really
it
’
s
a
great
relief
to
think
he
’
s
going
,
Hastings
,
”
continued
my
honest
friend
.
“
It
was
bad
enough
before
,
when
we
thought
he
’
d
done
it
,
but
I
’
m
hanged
if
it
isn
’
t
worse
now
,
when
we
all
feel
guilty
for
having
been
so
down
on
the
fellow
.
The
fact
is
,
we
’
ve
treated
him
abominably
.
Of
course
,
things
did
look
black
against
him
.
I
don
’
t
see
how
anyone
could
blame
us
for
jumping
to
the
conclusions
we
did
.
Still
,
there
it
is
,
we
were
in
the
wrong
,
and
now
there
’
s
a
beastly
feeling
that
one
ought
to
make
amends
;
which
is
difficult
,
when
one
doesn
’
t
like
the
fellow
a
bit
better
than
one
did
before
.
The
whole
thing
’
s
damned
awkward
!
And
I
’
m
thankful
he
’
s
had
the
tact
to
take
himself
off
.
It
’
s
a
good
thing
Styles
wasn
’
t
the
mater
’
s
to
leave
to
him
.
Couldn
’
t
bear
to
think
of
the
fellow
lording
it
here
.
He
’
s
welcome
to
her
money
.
”
“
You
’
ll
be
able
to
keep
up
the
place
all
right
?
”
I
asked
.
“
Oh
,
yes
.
There
are
the
death
duties
,
of
course
,
but
half
my
father
’
s
money
goes
with
the
place
,
and
Lawrence
will
stay
with
us
for
the
present
,
so
there
is
his
share
as
well
.
We
shall
be
pinched
at
first
,
of
course
,
because
,
as
I
once
told
you
,
I
am
in
a
bit
of
a
hole
financially
myself
.
Still
,
the
Johnnies
will
wait
now
.
”
In
the
general
relief
at
Inglethorp
’
s
approaching
departure
,
we
had
the
most
genial
breakfast
we
had
experienced
since
the
tragedy
.
Cynthia
,
whose
young
spirits
were
naturally
buoyant
,
was
looking
quite
her
pretty
self
again
,
and
we
all
,
with
the
exception
of
Lawrence
,
who
seemed
unalterably
gloomy
and
nervous
,
were
quietly
cheerful
,
at
the
opening
of
a
new
and
hopeful
future
.
The
papers
,
of
course
,
had
been
full
of
the
tragedy
.
Glaring
headlines
,
sandwiched
biographies
of
every
member
of
the
household
,
subtle
innuendoes
,
the
usual
familiar
tag
about
the
police
having
a
clue
.
Nothing
was
spared
us
.
It
was
a
slack
time
.
The
war
was
momentarily
inactive
,
and
the
newspapers
seized
with
avidity
on
this
crime
in
fashionable
life
:
“
The
Mysterious
Affair
at
Styles
”
was
the
topic
of
the
moment
.
Naturally
it
was
very
annoying
for
the
Cavendishes
.
The
house
was
constantly
besieged
by
reporters
,
who
were
consistently
denied
admission
,
but
who
continued
to
haunt
the
village
and
the
grounds
,
where
they
lay
in
wait
with
cameras
,
for
any
unwary
members
of
the
household
.
We
all
lived
in
a
blast
of
publicity
.
The
Scotland
Yard
men
came
and
went
,
examining
,
questioning
,
lynx
-
eyed
and
reserved
of
tongue
.
Towards
what
end
they
were
working
,
we
did
not
know
.
Had
they
any
clue
,
or
would
the
whole
thing
remain
in
the
category
of
undiscovered
crimes
?
After
breakfast
,
Dorcas
came
up
to
me
rather
mysteriously
,
and
asked
if
she
might
have
a
few
words
with
me
.
