"
Thank
you
very
much
,
M
.
Poirot
,
"
she
said
.
"
You
have
been
very
kind
very
kind
indeed
.
You
you
do
believe
me
,
don
t
you
?
That
Charles
had
nothing
to
do
with
this
wicked
murder
!
"
"
There
seems
no
doubt
that
the
man
who
was
talking
to
Mr
.
Ackroyd
in
the
library
at
nine
-
thirty
could
not
possibly
have
been
your
son
.
Be
of
good
courage
,
mademoiselle
.
All
will
yet
be
well
.
"
Miss
Russell
departed
.
Poirot
and
I
were
left
together
.
"
So
that
s
that
,
"
I
said
.
"
Every
time
we
come
back
to
Ralph
Paton
.
How
did
you
manage
to
spot
Miss
Russell
as
the
person
Charles
Kent
came
to
meet
?
Did
you
notice
the
resemblance
?
"
"
I
had
connected
her
with
the
unknown
man
long
before
we
actually
came
face
to
face
with
him
.
As
soon
as
we
found
that
quill
.
The
quill
suggested
dope
,
and
I
remembered
your
account
of
Miss
Russell
s
visit
to
you
.
Then
I
found
the
article
on
cocaine
in
that
morning
s
paper
.
It
all
seemed
very
clear
.
She
had
heard
from
someone
that
morning
someone
addicted
to
drugs
,
she
read
the
article
in
the
paper
,
and
she
came
to
ask
you
a
few
tentative
questions
.
She
mentioned
cocaine
,
since
the
article
in
question
was
on
cocaine
.
Then
,
when
you
seemed
too
interested
,
she
switched
hurriedly
to
the
subject
of
detective
stories
and
untraceable
poisons
.
I
suspected
a
son
or
a
brother
,
or
some
other
undesirable
male
relation
.
Ah
!
but
I
must
go
.
It
is
the
time
of
the
lunch
.
"
"
Stay
and
lunch
with
us
,
"
I
suggested
.

Poirot
shook
his
head
.
A
faint
twinkle
came
into
his
eye
.
"
Not
again
today
.
I
should
not
like
to
force
Mademoiselle
Caroline
to
adopt
a
vegetarian
diet
two
days
in
succession
"
It
occurred
to
me
that
there
was
not
much
which
escaped
Hercule
Poirot
.
Caroline
,
of
course
,
had
not
failed
to
see
Miss
Russell
come
to
the
surgery
door
.
I
had
anticipated
this
,
and
had
ready
an
elaborate
account
of
the
lady
s
bad
knee
.
But
Caroline
was
not
in
a
cross
-
questioning
mood
.
Her
point
of
view
was
that
she
knew
what
Miss
Russell
had
really
come
for
and
that
I
didn
t
.

"
Pumping
you
,
James
,
"
said
Caroline
.
"
Pumping
you
in
the
most
shameless
manner
,
I
ve
no
doubt
.
It
s
no
good
interrupting
.
I
dare
say
you
hadn
t
the
least
idea
she
was
doing
it
even
.
Men
are
so
simple
.
She
knows
that
you
are
in
M
.
Poirot
s
confidence
,
and
she
wants
to
find
out
things
.
Do
you
know
what
I
think
,
James
?
"
"
I
couldn
t
begin
to
imagine
.
You
think
so
many
extraordinary
things
.
"
"
It
s
no
good
being
sarcastic
.
I
think
Miss
Russell
knows
more
about
Mr
.
Ackroyd
s
death
than
she
is
prepared
to
admit
.
"
Caroline
leaned
back
triumphantly
in
her
chair
.
"
Do
you
really
think
so
?
"
I
said
absently
.
