“
What
?
”
962
Poirot
laid
down
the
case
again
.
963
“
But
who
forced
it
?
Why
should
they
?
When
?
But
the
door
was
locked
?
”
These
exclamations
burst
from
us
disjointedly
.

Poirot
answered
them
categorically
—
almost
mechanically
.
965
“
Who
?
That
is
the
question
.
Why
?
Ah
,
if
I
only
knew
.
When
?
Since
I
was
here
an
hour
ago
.
As
to
the
door
being
locked
,
it
is
a
very
ordinary
lock
.
Probably
any
other
of
the
doorkeys
in
this
passage
would
fit
it
.
”
966
We
stared
at
one
another
blankly
.
Poirot
had
walked
over
to
the
mantelpiece
.
He
was
outwardly
calm
,
but
I
noticed
his
hands
,
which
from
long
force
of
habit
were
mechanically
straightening
the
spill
vases
on
the
mantelpiece
,
were
shaking
violently
.
967
“
See
here
,
it
was
like
this
,
”
he
said
at
last
.

“
There
was
something
in
that
case
—
some
piece
of
evidence
,
slight
in
itself
perhaps
,
but
still
enough
of
a
clue
to
connect
the
murderer
with
the
crime
.
It
was
vital
to
him
that
it
should
be
destroyed
before
it
was
discovered
and
its
significance
appreciated
.
Therefore
,
he
took
the
risk
,
the
great
risk
,
of
coming
in
here
.
Finding
the
case
locked
,
he
was
obliged
to
force
it
,
thus
betraying
his
presence
.
For
him
to
take
that
risk
,
it
must
have
been
something
of
great
importance
.
”
969
“
But
what
was
it
?
”
970
“
Ah
!
”
cried
Poirot
,
with
a
gesture
of
anger
.
“
That
,
I
do
not
know
!
A
document
of
some
kind
,
without
doubt
,
possibly
the
scrap
of
paper
Dorcas
saw
in
her
hand
yesterday
afternoon
.
And
I
—
”
his
anger
burst
forth
freely
—
“
miserable
animal
that
I
am
!
I
guessed
nothing
!
I
have
behaved
like
an
imbecile
!
I
should
never
have
left
that
case
here
.
I
should
have
carried
it
away
with
me
.
Ah
,
triple
pig
!
And
now
it
is
gone
.
It
is
destroyed
—
but
is
it
destroyed
?
Is
there
not
yet
a
chance
—
we
must
leave
no
stone
unturned
—
