“

,
yes
,
that
might
be
,
”
said
John
.
“
But
look
here
,
how
could
he
have
got
at
the
cocoa
?
That
wasn
’
t
downstairs
?
”
“
No
,
it
wasn
’
t
,
”
I
admitted
reluctantly
.
And
then
,
suddenly
,
a
dreadful
possibility
flashed
through
my
mind
.
I
hoped
and
prayed
it
would
not
occur
to
John
also
.
I
glanced
sideways
at
him
.
He
was
frowning
perplexedly
,
and
I
drew
a
deep
breath
of
relief
,
for
the
terrible
thought
that
had
flashed
across
my
mind
was
this
:
that
Dr
.
Bauerstein
might
have
had
an
accomplice
.

Yet
surely
it
could
not
be
!
Surely
no
woman
as
beautiful
as
Mary
Cavendish
could
be
a
murderess
.
Yet
beautiful
women
had
been
known
to
poison
.
And
suddenly
I
remembered
that
first
conversation
at
tea
on
the
day
of
my
arrival
,
and
the
gleam
in
her
eyes
as
she
had
said
that
poison
was
a
woman
’
s
weapon
.
How
agitated
she
had
been
on
that
fatal
Tuesday
evening
!
Had
Mrs
.
Inglethorp
discovered
something
between
her
and
Bauerstein
,
and
threatened
to
tell
her
husband
?
Was
it
to
stop
that
denunciation
that
the
crime
had
been
committed
?
Then
I
remembered
that
enigmatical
conversation
between
Poirot
and
Evelyn
Howard
.
Was
this
what
they
had
meant
?
Was
this
the
monstrous
possibility
that
Evelyn
had
tried
not
to
believe
?
Yes
,
it
all
fitted
in
.

No
wonder
Miss
Howard
had
suggested
“
hushing
it
up
.
”
Now
I
understood
that
unfinished
sentence
of
hers
:
“
Emily
herself
—
—
”
And
in
my
heart
I
agreed
with
her
.
Would
not
Mrs
.
Inglethorp
have
preferred
to
go
unavenged
rather
than
have
such
terrible
dishonour
fall
upon
the
name
of
Cavendish
.
“
There
’
s
another
thing
,
”
said
John
suddenly
,
and
the
unexpected
sound
of
his
voice
made
me
start
guiltily
.
“
Something
which
makes
me
doubt
if
what
you
say
can
be
true
.
”
