arm pulling tv0T III, the other arm
striking him with a rowlock
That's almost the only way a
paralyZed' man could have COM
mitted The murder in The one
element where his strength would
be almost equal a normal mans.
Ivor pulled the bathing cap
off his head as he was struggling
But once the murder had been
committed. all he had TO DO was
to swim back 10 the beach II was
late. There was every chance that
no one would see him. But Elaine
was there. You can imagine how
she felt, seeing her father, whom
she thought ~ as doomed 10 the
wheel chair dragging himself
up out of the naked except
for his sodacn palama pants
He told her that fake story
of It's having been an accident be
cause he didn't want 20 give her
even the chance of becoming an
accessory after the fact She
helped him up the beach alorC
the same tracks he had made
going down She helped him into
the wheel chair and wheeled him
back TO his bedroom
LIS voice was a little steadier
u now. Although she thought
it had been an accident, Elaine
realized that suspicion was bound
to fan on her father If the truth
came out That's why she tried
TO retrieve the bathing cap and
washed and ironed the paJamas
She had been hoping the tide
would wash away the marks
in the sand, but they were dis
covered too soon
Later they found that the
green cushion of the wheel chair
was soaked in sea-water. Anyone,
seeing It, would realize that Mr.
Chiltern had been in the sea.
Elaine couldn't wash it the way
she could wash the pajamas. She
hid II under the other cushions
on the library couch and replaced
it by a yellow one.
And gradually Alice pieced to-
gether the truth She knew, as
| did, that 1t was possible for Mr..
Chlltern TO swim. As soon as the
MAJOR announced that the marks
IN the sand were not made by
Ivor's body she must have
thought Of Mr. Chiltcrn and his
paraIyzcd legs
AS his nurse, she attended TO
his clothes. Yesterday evening
she had put out a PAIR of white
panmas for him and yet later
that night after the murder when
the Major arrived he had been
wearing blue ones That must
have aroused her suspicious.
Then. when she found the
white pajamas which she had
put out for him neatly ironed
again and scorched. it was easy.
Particularly when she saw the
yellow cushion in the wheel chair.
An she had TO do was find the
regular green one. She found it.
damp and stained. IN the library
this afternoon. she had more
than enough evidence then TO
have Mr. Chiltern arrested"
But Tim" Kay asked. how
did he do that other thing? How
could ne possibly have killed
Alice? lie was there in the Ii
brary with me"
Tim Thorne passed a hand
across his dark, unruly hair
And he killed her almost under
your nose. Kay He knew. of
course, that she was going TO
expose him, but he wasn't going
TO lift a finger to stop her. You
see, in his own eyes, he wasn't
really a murderer. He felt he
had Justice on his side when he
killed Ivor and was ready to take
the consequences
But. without realizing it, you
submitted him TO q terrible temp
tation You were in the library
together Just after the storm
started The rain was splashing
in. You tired to pull the window
