"
Very
early
,
"
said
Caroline
.
"
Before
the
milk
came
.
I
just
happened
to
be
looking
out
of
the
window
the
blind
was
flapping
.
It
was
a
man
.
He
came
in
a
closed
car
,
and
he
was
all
muffled
up
.
I
couldn
t
get
a
glimpse
of
his
face
.
But
I
will
tell
you
my
idea
,
and
you
ll
see
that
I
m
right
.
"
"
What
s
your
idea
?
"
Caroline
dropped
her
voice
mysteriously
.
"
A
Home
Office
expert
,
"
she
breathed
.
"
A
Home
Office
expert
,
"
I
said
,
amazed
.
"
My
dear
Caroline
!
"
"
Mark
my
words
,
James
,
you
ll
see
that
I
m
right
.
That
Russell
woman
was
here
that
morning
after
your
poisons
.

Roger
Ackroyd
might
easily
have
been
poisoned
in
his
food
that
night
.
"
I
laughed
out
loud
.
"
Nonsense
,
"
I
cried
.
"
He
was
stabbed
in
the
neck
.
You
know
that
as
well
as
I
do
.
"
"
After
death
,
James
,
"
said
Caroline
;
"
to
make
a
false
clue
.
"
"
My
good
woman
,
"
I
said
,
"
I
examined
the
body
,
and
I
know
what
I
m
talking
about
.
That
wound
wasn
t
inflicted
after
death
it
was
the
cause
of
death
,
and
you
need
make
no
mistake
about
it
.
"
Caroline
merely
continued
to
look
omniscient
,
which
so
annoyed
me
that
I
went
on
:
"
Perhaps
you
will
tell
me
,
Caroline
,
if
I
have
a
medical
degree
or
if
I
have
not
?
"
"
You
have
the
medical
degree
,
I
dare
say
,
James
at
least
,
I
mean
I
know
you
have
.
But
you
ve
no
imagination
whatever
.
"
Having
endowed
you
with
a
treble
portion
,
there
was
none
left
over
for
me
,
"
I
said
drily
.

I
was
amused
to
see
Caroline
s
manoeuvres
that
afternoon
when
Poirot
duly
arrived
.
My
sister
,
without
asking
a
direct
question
,
skirted
the
subject
of
the
mysterious
guest
in
every
way
imaginable
.
By
the
twinkle
in
Poirot
s
eyes
,
I
saw
that
he
realized
her
object
.
He
remained
blandly
impervious
,
and
blocked
her
bowling
so
successfully
that
she
herself
was
at
a
loss
how
to
proceed
.
Having
,
I
suspect
,
enjoyed
the
little
game
,
he
rose
to
his
feet
and
suggested
a
walk
.
"
It
is
that
I
need
to
reduce
the
figure
a
little
,
"
he
explained
.
"
You
will
come
with
me
,
doctor
?
And
perhaps
later
.
Miss
Caroline
will
give
us
some
tea
.
"
Delighted
,
"
said
Caroline
.
"
Won
t
your
er
guest
come
in
also
?
"
"
You
are
too
kind
,
"
said
Poirot
.
"
But
no
,
my
friend
reposes
himself
.
Soon
you
must
make
his
acquaintance
.
"
"
Quite
an
old
friend
of
yours
,
so
somebody
told
me
,
"
said
Caroline
,
making
one
last
valiant
effort
.
