expert
,
"
I
murmured
.
"
And
to
think
I
never
guessed
!
"
"
You
see
now
why
I
drew
attention
to
the
reticence
of
your
manuscript
,
"
murmured
Poirot
.
"
It
was
strictly
truthful
as
far
as
it
went
but
it
did
not
go
very
far
,
eh
,
my
friend
?
"
I
was
too
abashed
to
argue
.
"
Dr
Sheppard
has
been
very
loyal
,
"
said
Ralph
.
"
He
has
stood
by
me
through
thick
and
thin
.
He
did
what
he
thought
was
best
.
I
see
now
,
from
what
M
.
Poirot
has
told
me
,
that
it
was
not
really
the
best
.
I
should
have
come
forward
and
faced
the
music
.
You
see
,
in
the
home
,
we
never
saw
a
newspaper
.
I
knew
nothing
of
what
was
going
on
.
"
"
Dr
Sheppard
has
been
a
model
of
discretion
,
"
said
Poirot
drily
.
"
But
me
,
I
discover
all
the
little
secrets
.
It
is
my
business
.
"
"
Now
we
can
have
your
story
of
what
happened
that
night
,
"
said
Raymond
impatiently
.
"
You
know
it
already
,
"
said
Ralph
.
"
There
s
very
little
for
me
to
all
.

I
left
the
summer
-
house
about
nine
forty
-
five
,
and
tramped
about
the
lanes
,
trying
to
make
up
my
mind
as
to
what
to
do
next
what
line
to
take
.
I
m
bound
to
admit
that
I
ve
not
the
shadow
of
an
alibi
,
but
I
give
you
my
solemn
word
that
I
never
went
to
the
study
,
that
I
never
saw
my
stepfather
alive
or
dead
.
Whatever
the
world
thinks
,
I
d
like
all
of
you
to
believe
me
.
"
"
No
alibi
,
"
murmured
Raymond
.
"
That
s
bad
.
I
believe
you
,
of
course
,
but
it
s
a
bad
business
.
"
"
It
makes
things
very
simple
,
though
,
"
said
Poirot
,
in
a
cheerful
voice
.
"
Very
simple
indeed
.
"
We
all
stared
at
him
.
"
You
see
what
I
mean
?
No
?
Just
this
to
save
Captain
Paton
the
real
criminal
must
confess
.
"
He
beamed
round
at
us
all
.
"
But
yes
I
mean
what
I
say
.
See
now
,
I
did
not
invite
Inspector
Raglan
to
be
present
.
That
was
for
a
reason
.
I
did
not
want
to
tell
him
all
that
I
knew
at
least
I
did
not
want
to
tell
him
tonight
.
"
He
leaned
forward
,
and
suddenly
his
voice
and
his
whole
personality
changed
.
He
suddenly
became
dangerous
.
"
I
who
speak
to
you
I
know
the
murderer
of
Mr
.
Ackroyd
is
in
this
room
now
.
It
is
to
the
murderer
I
speak
.

Tomorrow
the
truth
goes
to
Inspector
Raglan
.
You
understand
?
There
was
a
tense
silence
.
Into
the
midst
of
it
came
the
old
Breton
woman
with
a
telegram
on
a
salver
.
Poirot
tore
it
open
.
Blunt

rose

and
