There's no need, darling. And
you see, everything has actually
turned out all right. John has
been got rid of without our doing
anything about it. 1t reminds
me-" said Lady Angkatell reml-
niscently, "of that nan in Bonn

to me. He was run over by a
tram three days later"
She unbolted the French win

Sir Henry sat still, watching her
tall, slender Figure wander down
the path. He looked old and tired
and his face was the face OF a

Mrs. Midway checked these

was coming up the path TO the

she was. He wondered very mucf
what brought Veronica Cray tt

"You are worried? I am sorry
to hear that"
Veronica sat down and sighed
"It's about John C!!lristow's
death. The inquest's tomorrow
You know that"
Eyes, yes, I know"
"And the whole thing has really
been so extraordinary"
She broke off.
Most people really wouldn't
believe it. But you would, l think.
because you know something
about human nature"
Il know a little about human
nature" admitted Poirot.
inspector Grange came to see
me. He'd got it into his head that
Id quarreled with John-which is
true in a way, though not in the
way he meant. l told him that ]
hadn't seen John for fifteen years
and he simply didn't believe
me. But it's true, M. Poirot."
Poirot said, "since it is true. il
can easily be proved, so why
worry?"
She returned his smile in the
friendliest fashion.
THE real truth is that I simply
haven't dared to tell the inspector
what actually happened on Satur
day evening. It's so absolutely
fantastic that he certainly
wouldn't believe it. But I felt
must tell someone. That's why
have come to you"
Poirot said quietly, Il am flat
tered"
That fact. he noted, she took fol
granted. She was a woman, he
thought. who was very sure OF the
effect she was producing. So SURE
that she might, occasionally
make a mistake.
John and I were engaged to b.
married fifteen years ago. He was
very much in love with me-sc
much SO that it rather-alarmee
me sometimes. He wanted me te
give up %acting-to give up having
any mind or life of my own. He
was so p~ossessive and masterfu
that I felt I couldn't go through
with it. and I broke Of. the en-.
gagement. I'm afraid he took tina
very hard
Poirot clicked a discreet ano
sympathetic tongue.
II didn't see him again until
last Saturday night. He walked
home with me. I told the inspec-
tor that we talked about old times
that's true in a way. But there
was far more than that
"Ye5?"
John went mad - quite mad.
He wanted to leave his wife and
children, he wanted me to get a
divorce from my husband and
marry him. He said he'd never
forgotten me-that the moment he
saw me time stood still. -
