He
would
then
produce
his
irreproachable
alibi
—
and
,
hey
presto
,
he
was
safe
for
life
!
”
“
But
I
still
don
’
t
see
how
he
managed
to
prove
his
alibi
,
and
yet
go
to
the
chemist
’
s
shop
?
”
Poirot
stared
at
me
in
surprise
.
“
Is
it
possible
?
My
poor
friend
!
You
have
not
yet
realized
that
it
was
Miss
Howard
who
went
to
the
chemist
’
s
shop
?
”
“
Miss
Howard
?
”
“
But
,
certainly
.
Who
else
?
It
was
most
easy
for
her
.
She
is
of
a
good
height
,
her
voice
is
deep
and
manly
;
moreover
,
remember
,
she
and
Inglethorp
are
cousins
,
and
there
is
a
distinct
resemblance
between
them
,
especially
in
their
gait
and
bearing
.
It
was
simplicity
itself
.
They
are
a
clever
pair
!
”
“
I
am
still
a
little
fogged
as
to
how
exactly
the
bromide
business
was
done
,
”
I
remarked
.
“
Bon
!
I
will
reconstruct
for
you
as
far
as
possible
.
I
am
inclined
to
think
that
Miss
Howard
was
the
master
mind
in
that
affair
.
You
remember
her
once
mentioning
that
her
father
was
a
doctor
?
Possibly
she
dispensed
his
medicines
for
him
,
or
she
may
have
taken
the
idea
from
one
of
the
many
books
lying
about
when
Mademoiselle
Cynthia
was
studying
for
her
exam
.
Anyway
,
she
was
familiar
with
the
fact
that
the
addition
of
a
bromide
to
a
mixture
containing
strychnine
would
cause
the
precipitation
of
the
latter
.
Probably
the
idea
came
to
her
quite
suddenly
.
Mrs
.
Inglethorp
had
a
box
of
bromide
powders
,
which
she
occasionally
took
at
night
.
What
could
be
easier
than
quietly
to
dissolve
one
or
more
of
those
powders
in
Mrs
.
Inglethorp
’
s
large
sized
bottle
of
medicine
when
it
came
from
Coot
’
s
?
The
risk
is
practically
nil
.
The
tragedy
will
not
take
place
until
nearly
a
fortnight
later
.
If
anyone
has
seen
either
of
them
touching
the
medicine
,
they
will
have
forgotten
it
by
that
time
.
Miss
Howard
will
have
engineered
her
quarrel
,
and
departed
from
the
house
.
The
lapse
of
time
,
and
her
absence
,
will
defeat
all
suspicion
.
Yes
,
it
was
a
clever
idea
!
If
they
had
left
it
alone
,
it
is
possible
the
crime
might
never
have
been
brought
home
to
them
.
But
they
were
not
satisfied
.
They
tried
to
be
too
clever
—
and
that
was
their
undoing
.
”
Poirot
puffed
at
his
tiny
cigarette
,
his
eyes
fixed
on
the
ceiling
.
