WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 19365] BONER ANG cz Ug 8 SYNOPSIS: Bobby Jones and r_ Thomas have found the body of Gt the foot of a cliff on the Suarchvole’ golf course. The only person who has even mentioned foul play is Lady Frances Derwent, and Frankie was “only talking.” At the inquest the man is identified as Alezander Pritchard by @ Mrs. Cayman of London, who says he ts her brother. Bobby is disappointed in Mra. Cayman, because he had acen a photograph of a very beauti-~ ful woman in Pritchard's’ potket, and Mrs. Cayman is by no means beautiful. Chapter Six CALLERS HE coroner said a few soothing. words and dismissed her. Then he addressed tho jury. Their task was to state how this man came by his death. Fortunately the matter appeared to be quite sim- ple. There was no suggestion that Mr. Pritchard had been worried or depressed or in a state of mind where he would be likely to take his own life. On the contrary he had been in good health and spirits and had been looking forward to his holi- day. It was unfortunately the case that when a sea mist was rising, the path along the cliff was a dangerous one, and possibly they might agree with him that it was time some- thing was done about it. The jury’s verdict was prompt. “We find that the deceased came to his death by misadventure, and we wish to add a rider that in our | opinion the Town Council should immediately take steps to yut @ fence or rail on the se side of the path where it skirts the chasm.” The Coroner nodded approval. The inquest was over. On arriving back at the Vicarage about half an hour later, Bobby found that his connection with the death of Alex Pritchard was not quite over. He was informed that Mr. and Mrs. Cayman had called to see him and were in the study with his father. Bobby made his way there and found his father gravely making suitable conversation without, ap- parently, much enjoying his task. “Ah!” he said with some slight relief. “Here is Bobby.” M R. CAYMAN rose and advanced towards the young man with outstretched hand. Mr. Cayman was a big florid man with a would-be hearty manner and a cold and some- what shifty eye that rather belied the manner. As for Mrs. Cayman, though she might be considered attractive in a bold, coarse fashion, she had little now in common with that early pho- tograph of herself, and. no- trace of that wistful expression remained. In fact, Bobby reflected, if she had not recognized her own photograph it seemed doubtful if anyone else would have done so. “I came down with the wife,” said Mr. Cayman, enclosing Bobby’s hand in a firm and painful grip. “Had to stand by, you know. Amelia’s nat- t” Mrs. Cayman sniffed. “We came round to see you,” con- tinued Mr. Cayman. “You see, my poor wife’s brother died, practically speaking, in your arms. Naturally, she wanted to know all you could tell her of his last moments.” “Absolutely,” said Bobby unhap- pily. “Oh, absolutely.” he grinned nervously and was immediately aware of his father’s sigh—a sigh of Christian resignation. “Poor Alex!” said Mrs. Cayman, dabbing her eyes. “Poor, poor Ale “I know,” said Bobby. “Absolutely grim.” He wriggled uncomfortably. “You see,” said Mrs. Cayman, looking hopefully at Bobby, “if he left any last words or messages— naturally I.want to know.” “Oh, rather,” said Bob a watter of fact he didn’t “Nothing at all?” Mrs. Cayman looked disappointed and incredulous. Bobby felt ap-logetic. ’ “No—well—as a matter cf fact, nothing at all.” “It was best so,” said Mr. Cayman solemnly. “To pass away uncon- scious, without pain—why, you must think of it as a mercy, Amelia.” “E suppose I must,” said Mrs. Cayman. “You don’t think he felt any pain?” “I'm sure he didn’t,” said Bobby. Mrs. Cayman sighed deeply. “Well, that’s something to be thankful for. Perhaps I did hope he'd left a last message, but I can se that it’s best as it is. Poor Alex. Such a fine out- of-door man.” “Yes, wasn’t he?” said Bobby. He recalled the bronze face, the deep blue eyes. An attractive,personal- ity, that of Alex Prit stone tive even sg near ‘dl Prenat 3 that he shotld be the brother of Mrs. Cayman and the brotherimiaw: of Mr. Cayman!, He had been worthy, Bobby felt, of better things. “But as Y AcAarna CHaistie£ you, I’m sure,” “Oh, that’s all right,” said Bobby. “I mean—well, I couldn't do any- thing else—I mean—” He floundered | hopelessly. ‘V E shan’t forget it,” said Mr. Cayman. Bobby suffered 2nce more that painful grip. He received @ flabby hand from Mrs. Cayman. His father made further adieus. Bobby accompanied the Caymans to | the front door. “And what do you do with your- self, young man?” inquired Cayman. “Home on leave—something of that kind?” “I spend most of my time looking for a job,” said Bobby. He paused. “I was in the Navy.” “Hard times—hard times now- adays,” said Mr. Cayman, shaking his head. “Well, I wish you luck, ’'m sure.” © aSenet A Bobby found Frankie unsympa- thetic. “Thank you very much,” Bobby politely. He watched them down the weed- grown drive. Standing there, he fell into a brown study. Various ideas flashed chaotically through his mind, confused reflections —the photo- graph—that girl’s face with the wide-apart eyes and the misty hair —and ten or fifteen years later Mrs. Cayman with her heavy make-up, her plucked eyebrows, those wide- apart eyes sunk in between folds of fiesh till they looked like pigs’ eyes, and her violent henna-tinted hair. It all came perhaps of marrying a hearty bounder like Mr. Cayman. If she had married someone else she might possibly have grown older gracefully. But perhaps anyway— Bobby sighed and shook his head. “That's the worst of marriage,” he said gloomily. “What did you say?” Bobby awoke from meditation to become aware of Frankie, whose ap- proach he had not heard. “Hullo,” he said. “Hullo. Why whose?” Bobby explained. He found Frankie unsympathetic. “Nonsense. The woman's exactly like her photograph.” “When did you see her? Were you at the inquest?” “Of course I was at the inquest. I was thrilled to the teeth.” (Copyright 1933-35-36, Agatha Christie) said marriage? And “we we're very much indebted to: CAR, eyitens tomorrow, to: the DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY ELEC.
