You
,
too
,
have
my
first
idea
.
I
imagined
that
the
chair
was
drawn
out
so
that
something
connected
with
the
window
should
not
be
seen
by
anyone
entering
through
the
door
.
But
I
soon
abandoned
that
supposition
,
for
though
the
chair
was
a
grandfather
with
a
high
back
,
it
obscured
very
little
of
the
window
only
the
part
between
the
sash
and
the
ground
.
No
,
mon
ami
but
remember
that
just
in
front
of
the
window
there
stood
a
table
with
books
and
magazines
upon
it
.
Now
that
table
was
completely
hidden
by
the
drawn
-
out
chair
and
immediately
I
had
my
first
shadowy
suspicion
of
the
truth
.
"
Supposing
that
there
had
been
something
on
that
table
not
intended
to
be
seen
?
Something
placed
there
by
the
murderer
?
As
yet
I
had
no
inkling
of
what
that
something
might
be
.
But
I
knew
certain
very
interesting
facts
about
it
.
For
instance
,
it
was
something
that
the
murderer
had
not
been
able
to
take
away
with
him
at
the
time
that
he
committed
the
crime
.
At
the
same
time
it
was
vital
that
it
should
be
removed
as
soon
as
possible
after
the
crime
had
been
discovered
.
And
so
the
telephone
message
,
and
the
opportunity
for
the
murderer
to
be
on
the
spot
when
the
body
was
discovered
.

"
Now
four
people
were
on
the
scene
before
the
police
arrived
.
Yourself
,
Parker
,
Major
Blunt
,
and
Mr
.
Raymond
.
Parker
I
eliminated
at
once
,
since
at
whatever
time
the
crime
was
discovered
,
he
was
the
one
person
certain
to
be
on
the
spot
.
Also
it
was
he
who
told
me
of
the
pulled
-
out
chair
.
Parker
,
then
,
was
cleared
(
of
the
murder
,
that
is
.
I
still
thought
it
possible
that
he
had
been
blackmailing
Mrs
.
Ferrars
)
.
Raymond
and
Blunt
,
however
,
remained
under
suspicion
since
,
if
the
crime
had
been
discovered
in
the
early
hours
of
the
morning
,
it
was
quite
possible
that
they
might
have
arrived
on
the
scene
too
late
to
prevent
the
object
on
the
round
table
being
discovered
.
"
Now
what
was
that
object
?
You
heard
my
arguments
tonight
in
reference
to
the
scrap
of
conversation
overheard
?
As
soon
as
I
learned
that
a
representative
of
a
dictaphone
company
had
called
,
the
idea
of
a
dictaphone
took
root
in
my
mind
.
You
heard
what
I
said
in
this
room
not
half
an
hour
ago
?
They
all
agreed
with
my
theory
but
one
vital
fact
seems
to
have
escaped
them
.
Granted
that
a
dictaphone
was
being
used
by
Mr
.
Ackroyd
that
night
why
was
no
dictaphone
found
?
"
"
I
never
thought
of
that
,
"
I
said

"
We
know
that
a
dictaphone
was
supplied
to
Mr
.
Ackroyd
.
But
no
dictaphone
has
been
found
amongst
his
effects
.
So
,
if
something
was
taken
from
the
table
why
should
not
that
something
be
the
dictaphone
?
But
there
were
certain
difficulties
in
the
way
.
The
attention
of
everyone
was
,
of
course
,
focused
on
the
murdered
man
.
I
think
anyone
could
have
gone
to
the
table
unnoticed
by
the
other
people
in
the
room
.
But
a
dictaphone
has
a
certain
bulk
it
cannot
be
slipped
casually
into
a
pocket
.
There
must
have
been
a
receptacle
of
some
kind
capable
of
holding
it
.
