As
I
was
returning
from
my
round
the
following
morning
,
I
was
hailed
by
Inspector
Raglan
.
I
pulled
up
,
and
the
inspector
mounted
on
the
step
.
"
Good
morning
,
Dr
Sheppard
,
"
he
said
.
"
Well
,
that
alibi
is
all
right
enough
.
"
"
Charles
Kent
s
?
"
"
Charles
Kent
s
.
The
barmaid
at
the
Dog
and
Whistle
,
Sally
Jones
,
she
remembers
him
perfectly
.
Picked
out
his
photograph
from
among
five
others
.
It
was
just
a
quarter
to
ten
when
he
came
into
the
bar
,
and
the
Dog
and
Whistle
is
well
over
a
mile
from
Fernly
Park
.
The
girl
mentions
that
he
had
a
lot
of
money
on
him
she
saw
him
take
a
handful
of
notes
out
of
his
pocket
.
Rather
surprised
her
,
it
did
,
seeing
the
class
of
fellow
he
was
,
with
a
pair
of
boots
clean
dropping
off
him
.
That
s
where
that
forty
pounds
went
right
enough
.
"
"
The
man
still
refuses
to
give
an
account
of
his
visit
to
Fernly
?
"
"
Obstinate
as
a
mule
he
is
.
I
had
a
chat
with
Hayes
at
Liverpool
over
the
wire
this
morning
.
"
"
Hercule
Poirot
says
he
knows
the
reason
the
man
went
there
that
night
,
"
I
observed
.
"
Does
he
?
"
cried
the
inspector
eagerly
.

"
Yes
,
"
I
said
maliciously
.
"
He
says
he
went
there
because
he
was
born
in
Kent
.
"
I
felt
a
distinct
pleasure
in
passing
on
my
own
discomfiture
.
Raglan
stared
at
me
for
a
moment
or
two
uncomprehendingly
.
Then
a
grin
overspread
his
weaselly
countenance
and
he
tapped
his
forehead
significantly
.
"
But
gone
here
,
"
he
said
.
"
I
ve
thought
so
for
some
time
.

Poor
old
chap
,
so
that
s
why
he
had
to
give
up
and
come
down
here
.
In
the
family
,
very
likely
.
He
s
got
a
nephew
who
s
quite
off
his
crumpet
.
"
"
Poirot
has
?
"
I
said
,
very
surprised
.
"
Yes
.
Hasn
t
he
ever
mentioned
him
to
you
?
Quite
docile
,
I
believe
,
and
all
that
,
but
mad
as
a
hatter
,
poor
lad
.
"
"
Who
told
you
that
?
"
Again
a
grin
showed
itself
on
Inspector
Raglan
s
face
.
"
Your
sister
.
Miss
Sheppard
,
she
told
me
all
about
it
.
"
Really
,
Caroline
is
amazing
.
She
never
rests
until
she
knows
the
last
details
of
everybody
s
family
secrets
.
Unfortunately
,
I
have
never
been
able
to
instil
into
her
the
decency
of
keeping
them
to
herself
.
