How
about
that
?
"
Inspector
Raglan
wrote
down
something
in
his
notebook
.
"
Well
?
"
demanded
Kent
.
"
Inquiries
will
be
made
,
"
said
the
inspector
.
"
If
you
ve
spoken
the
truth
,
you
won
t
have
anything
to
complain
about
.
What
were
you
doing
at
Fernly
Park
anyway
?
"
"
Went
there
to
meet
someone
.
"
"
Who
?
"
"
That
s
none
of
your
business
.
"
"
You
d
better
keep
a
civil
tongue
in
your
head
,
my
man
,
"
the
superintendent
warned
him
.

"
To
hell
with
a
civil
tongue
.
I
went
there
on
my
own
business
,
and
that
s
all
there
is
to
it
.
If
I
was
clear
away
before
the
murder
was
done
,
that
s
all
that
concerns
the
cops
.
"
"
Your
name
,
it
is
Charles
Kent
,
"
said
Poirot
.
"
Where
were
you
born
?
"
The
man
stared
at
him
,
then
he
grinned
.
"
I
m
a
full
-
blown
Britisher
all
right
,
"
he
said
.
"
Yes
,
"
said
Poirot
meditatively
.
"
I
think
you
are
.
I
fancy
you
were
born
in
Kent
.
"
The
man
stared
.
"
Why
s
that
?
Because
of
my
name
?
What
s
that
to
do
with
it
?
Is
a
man
whose
name
is
Kent
bound
to
be
born
in
that
particular
county
?
"
"
Under
certain
circumstances
,
I
can
imagine
he
might
be
,
"
said
Poirot
very
deliberately
.
"
Under
certain
circumstances
,
you
comprehend
.
"
There
was
so
much
meaning
in
his
voice
as
to
surprise
the
two
police
officers
.
As
for
Charles
Kent
,
he
flushed
a
brick
red
,
and
for
a
moment
I
thought
he
was
going
to
spring
at
Poirot
.
He
thought
better
of
it
,
however
,
and
turned
away
with
a
kind
of
laugh
.

Poirot
nodded
as
though
satisfied
,
and
made
his
way
out
through
the
door
.
He
was
joined
presently
by
the
two
officers
.
"
We
ll
verify
that
statement
,
"
remarked
Raglan
.
"
I
don
t
think
he
s
lying
,
though
.
But
he
s
got
to
come
clean
with
a
statement
as
to
what
he
was
doing
at
Fernly
.
It
looks
to
me
as
though
we
d
got
our
blackmailer
all
right
.
On
the
other
hand
,
granted
his
story
s
correct
,
he
couldn
t
have
had
anything
to
do
with
the
actual
murder
.
He
d
got
ten
pounds
on
him
when
he
was
arrested
rather
a
large
sum
.
I
fancy
that
forty
pounds
went
to
him
the
numbers
of
the
notes
didn
t
correspond
,
but
of
course
he
d
have
changed
them
first
thing
.
Mr
.
Ackroyd
must
have
given
him
the
money
,
and
he
made
off
with
it
as
fast
as
possible
.
What
was
that
about
Kent
being
his
birthplace
?
What
s
that
got
to
do
with
it
?
"
"
Nothing
whatever
,
"
said
Poirot
mildly
.
"
A
little
idea
of
mine
,
that
was
all
.
Me
,
I
am
famous
for
my
little
ideas
.
"
"
Are
you
really
?
"
said
Raglan
,
studying
him
with
a
puzzled
expression
.
