To
take
the
fragment
of
green
material
first
,
I
found
it
caught
in
the
bolt
of
the
communicating
door
between
that
room
and
the
adjoining
one
occupied
by
Mademoiselle
Cynthia
.
I
handed
the
fragment
over
to
the
police
who
did
not
consider
it
of
much
importance
.
Nor
did
they
recognize
it
for
what
it
was
a
piece
torn
from
a
green
land
armlet
.
There
was
a
little
stir
of
excitement
.
Now
there
was
only
one
person
at
Styles
who
worked
on
the
land
Mrs
.
Cavendish
.
Therefore
it
must
have
been
Mrs
.
Cavendish
who
entered
the
deceased
s
room
through
the
door
communicating
with
Mademoiselle
Cynthia
s
room
.

But
that
door
was
bolted
on
the
inside
!
I
cried
.
When
I
examined
the
room
,
yes
.
But
in
the
first
place
we
have
only
her
word
for
it
,
since
it
was
she
who
tried
that
particular
door
and
reported
it
fastened
.
In
the
ensuing
confusion
she
would
have
had
ample
opportunity
to
shoot
the
bolt
across
.
I
took
an
early
opportunity
of
verifying
my
conjectures
.
To
begin
with
,
the
fragment
corresponds
exactly
with
a
tear
in
Mrs
.
Cavendish
s
armlet
.
Also
,
at
the
inquest
,
Mrs
.
Cavendish
declared
that
she
had
heard
,
from
her
own
room
,
the
fall
of
the
table
by
the
bed
.
I
took
an
early
opportunity
of
testing
that
statement
by
stationing
my
friend
Monsieur
Hastings
in
the
left
wing
of
the
building
,
just
outside
Mrs
.
Cavendish
s
door
.
I
myself
,
in
company
with
the
police
,
went
to
the
deceased
s
room
,
and
whilst
there
I
,
apparently
accidentally
,
knocked
over
the
table
in
question
,
but
found
that
,
as
I
had
expected
,
Monsieur
Hastings
had
heard
no
sound
at
all
.
This
confirmed
my
belief
that
Mrs
.
Cavendish
was
not
speaking
the
truth
when
she
declared
that
she
had
been
dressing
in
her
room
at
the
time
of
the
tragedy
.
In
fact
,
I
was
convinced
that
,
far
from
having
been
in
her
own
room
,
Mrs
.
Cavendish
was
actually
in
the
deceased
s
room
when
the
alarm
was
given
.
I
shot
a
quick
glance
at
Mary
.
She
was
very
pale
,
but
smiling
.

I
proceeded
to
reason
on
that
assumption
.
Mrs
.
Cavendish
is
in
her
mother
-
in
-
law
s
room
.
We
will
say
that
she
is
seeking
for
something
and
has
not
yet
found
it
.
Suddenly
Mrs
.
Inglethorp
awakens
and
is
seized
with
an
alarming
paroxysm
.
She
flings
out
her
arm
,
overturning
the
bed
table
,
and
then
pulls
desperately
at
the
bell
.
Mrs
.
Cavendish
,
startled
,
drops
her
candle
,
scattering
the
grease
on
the
carpet
.
She
picks
it
up
,
and
retreats
quickly
to
Mademoiselle
Cynthia
s
room
,
closing
the
door
behind
her
.
She
hurries
out
into
the
passage
,
for
the
servants
must
not
find
her
where
she
is
.
But
it
is
too
late
!
Already
footsteps
are
echoing
along
the
gallery
which
connects
the
two
wings
.
What
can
she
do
?
Quick
as
thought
,
she
hurries
back
to
the
young
girl
s
room
,
and
starts
shaking
her
awake
.
The
hastily
aroused
household
come
trooping
down
the
passage
.
They
are
all
busily
battering
at
Mrs
.
Inglethorp
s
door
.
It
occurs
to
nobody
that
Mrs
.
Cavendish
has
not
arrived
with
the
rest
,
but
and
this
is
significant
I
can
find
no
one
who
saw
her
come
from
the
other
wing
.
He
looked
at
Mary
Cavendish
.
Am
I
right
,
madame
?
She
bowed
her
head
.
