I HAD had no opportunity as yet of passing on Poirot's message to Lawrence. But now, as I strolled out on the lawn, still nursing a grudge against my friend's high-handedness, I saw Lawrence on the croquet lawn, aimlessly knocking a couple of very ancient balls about, with a still more ancient mallet.

It struck me that it would be a good opportunity to deliver my message. Otherwise, Poirot himself might relieve me of it. It was true that I did not quite gather its purport, but I flattered myself that by Lawrence's reply, and perhaps a little skillful cross-examination on my part, I should soon perceive its significance. Accordingly I accosted him.

"He told me to wait until I was alone with you," I said, dropping my voice significantly, and watching him intently out of the corner of my eye. I have always been rather good at what is called, I believe, creating an atmosphere.

There was no change of expression in the dark melancholic face. Had he any idea of what I was about to say?

"This is the message." I dropped my voice still lower. " 'Find the extra coffee-cup, and you can rest in peace.' "

"He'd better ask Dorcas, or one of the maids, if he wants to know about coffee-cups. It's their business, not mine. I don't know anything about the coffee-cups, except that we've got some that are never used, which are a perfect dream! Old Worcester. You're not a connoisseur, are you, Hastings?"

I was moving off towards the house again when he suddenly called me back.

The boom of the gong sounded from the house, and we went in together. Poirot had been asked by John to remain to lunch, and was already seated at the table.

By tacit consent, all mention of the tragedy was barred. We conversed on the war, and other outside topics. But after the cheese and biscuits had been handed round, and Dorcas had left the room, Poirot suddenly leant forward to Mrs. Cavendish.

"Pardon me, madame, for recalling unpleasant memories, but I have a little idea"--Poirot's "little ideas" were becoming a perfect byword--"and would like to ask one or two questions."

"You are too amiable, madame. What I want to ask is this: the door leading into Mrs. Inglethorp's room from that of Mademoiselle Cynthia, it was bolted, you say?"

"Certainly it was bolted," replied Mary Cavendish, rather surprised. "I said so at the inquest."

"I mean," explained Poirot, "you are sure it was bolted, and not merely locked?"

"Oh, I see what you mean. No, I don't know. I said bolted, meaning that it was fastened, and I could not open it, but I believe all the doors were found bolted on the inside."

After lunch Poirot begged me to accompany him home. I consented rather stiffly.

This was not quite what I had intended. I had hoped that he would have observed the stiffness of my manner. Still, the fervour of his words went towards the appeasing of my just displeasure. I thawed.

I had expected Poirot to be disappointed; but, to my surprise, he replied that that was as he had thought, and that he was very glad. My pride forbade me to ask any questions.

"I've been looking for you," I remarked untruthfully.

请登陆会员查看更多内容

"Have you?"

请登陆会员查看更多内容

"Yes. The truth is, I've got a message for you--from Poirot."

请登陆会员查看更多内容

"Yes?"

请登陆会员查看更多内容

"He told me to wait until I was alone with you," I said, dropping my voice significantly, and watching him intently out of the corner of my eye. I have always been rather good at what is called, I believe, creating an atmosphere.

请登陆会员查看更多内容

"Well?"

请登陆会员查看更多内容

There was no change of expression in the dark melancholic face. Had he any idea of what I was about to say?

请登陆会员查看更多内容

"This is the message." I dropped my voice still lower. " 'Find the extra coffee-cup, and you can rest in peace.' "

请登陆会员查看更多内容

"What on earth does he mean?" Lawrence stared at me in quite unaffected astonishment.

请登陆会员查看更多内容

"Don't you know?"

请登陆会员查看更多内容

"Not in the least. Do you?"

请登陆会员查看更多内容

I was compelled to shake my head.

请登陆会员查看更多内容

"What extra coffee-cup?"

请登陆会员查看更多内容

"I don't know."

请登陆会员查看更多内容

"He'd better ask Dorcas, or one of the maids, if he wants to know about coffee-cups. It's their business, not mine. I don't know anything about the coffee-cups, except that we've got some that are never used, which are a perfect dream! Old Worcester. You're not a connoisseur, are you, Hastings?"

I shook my head.

请登陆会员查看更多内容

"You miss a lot. A really perfect bit of old china--it's pure delight to handle it, or even to look at it."

请登陆会员查看更多内容

"Well, what am I to tell Poirot?"

请登陆会员查看更多内容

"Tell him I don't know what he's talking about. It's double Dutch to me."

请登陆会员查看更多内容

"All right."

请登陆会员查看更多内容

I was moving off towards the house again when he suddenly called me back.

请登陆会员查看更多内容

"I say, what was the end of that message? Say it over again, will you?"

请登陆会员查看更多内容

" 'Find the extra coffee-cup, and you can rest in peace.' Are you sure you don't know what it means?" I asked him earnestly.

请登陆会员查看更多内容

He shook his head.

请登陆会员查看更多内容

"No," he said musingly, "I don't. I--I wish I did."

请登陆会员查看更多内容

The boom of the gong sounded from the house, and we went in together. Poirot had been asked by John to remain to lunch, and was already seated at the table.

请登陆会员查看更多内容

By tacit consent, all mention of the tragedy was barred. We conversed on the war, and other outside topics. But after the cheese and biscuits had been handed round, and Dorcas had left the room, Poirot suddenly leant forward to Mrs. Cavendish.

"Pardon me, madame, for recalling unpleasant memories, but I have a little idea"--Poirot's "little ideas" were becoming a perfect byword--"and would like to ask one or two questions."

请登陆会员查看更多内容

"Of me? Certainly."

请登陆会员查看更多内容

"You are too amiable, madame. What I want to ask is this: the door leading into Mrs. Inglethorp's room from that of Mademoiselle Cynthia, it was bolted, you say?"

请登陆会员查看更多内容

"Certainly it was bolted," replied Mary Cavendish, rather surprised. "I said so at the inquest."

请登陆会员查看更多内容

"Bolted?"

请登陆会员查看更多内容

"Yes." She looked perplexed.

请登陆会员查看更多内容

"I mean," explained Poirot, "you are sure it was bolted, and not merely locked?"

请登陆会员查看更多内容

"Oh, I see what you mean. No, I don't know. I said bolted, meaning that it was fastened, and I could not open it, but I believe all the doors were found bolted on the inside."

请登陆会员查看更多内容

"Still, as far as you are concerned, the door might equally well have been locked?"

请登陆会员查看更多内容

"Oh, yes."

请登陆会员查看更多内容

"You yourself did not happen to notice, madame, when you entered Mrs. Inglethorp's room, whether that door was bolted or not?"
