THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1986, 7 Ae) QOMERANG Lop SY Acarna CHristil SYNOPSIS: Much to the disap- pointment of Lady Frances Der- went, the inquest over the body which Bobby Jones and Dr, Thom- as found at the bottom of a cliff indicated that the man simply had fallen over. He is identified by a Mrs. Cayman as Alezander Pritch- ard, her broth: , the verdict of the jury is that the whole thing is an ‘accident, and Bobby’s only puzzle is that Mrs. Cayman looks 8o little like the photograph he had seen in the dead man’s pocket. Frankie de- clares she was disappointed there was no murder done. Chapter Sever SNUBBED “"v HAT bloodthirsty instincts you have, Frankie,” Bobby said. “] know. It’s probably atavism (however do you pronounce it?— I’ve never been sure). Don’t you think so? I’m sure I’m atavistic. My nickname at school was Monkey Face.” “Do monkeys like murder?” que- ried Bobby. “You sound like a correspondence in a Sunday paper,” said Frankie. “Our correspondents’ views on this icited.’” said Bobby, revert- ing to the original topic, “I don’t agree with you about the female Cayman. Her photograph was love ly.” “Touched up, that’s all,” inter- rupted Frankie. “Well, then, it was so much touched up that you wouldn’t have known them for the same person.” “You're blind,” said Frankie. “The photographer had done all that the art of photography could do, but it was still a nasty bit of work.” “I absolutely disagree with you,” said Bobby coldly. “Anyway, where did you see it?” “In the local ‘Evening Fcho.’” “It probably reproduced badly.” “It seems to me you're absolutely batty,” said Frankie crossly. “Over a painted-up raddled hussy—yes, I said hussy—like the Cayman.” “Frankie,” said Bobby, “I’m sur- prised at you. In the Vicarage drive, too. Semi-holy ground, so to speak.” “Well, you shouldn’t have been so ridiculous.” There was 4 pz.use, then Frankie’s { sudden fit of temper abated. “What is ridiculous,” she said, “is to quarrel about the damned woman. I came to suggest a round of golf. What about it?” “O. K., Chief,” pily. ‘HEY set off amicably together, and their conversation was of such things as slicing and pulling and how to perfect a chip shot onto the green. The recent tragedy passed quite out of mind until Bobby, hoiing a long putt at the eleventh to halve the hole, suddenly gave an exclama- tion. “What is it?” “Nothing. I’ve just remembered something.” “What?” “Well, these people, the Caymans —they came round and asked if the fellow had said anything before he died—and 1 told them he hadn't.” “Well “And now I’ve just remembered that he did.” “Not one of your brightest morn- ings, in fact.” “Well, you see, it wasn’t the sort of thing they meant. That’s why, I suppose, I didn’t think of it.” “What did he say?” asked Frankie curiously. “He said: ‘Why didn’t they ask Evans?’” “What a funny thing to say. Noth- ing else?” “No. He just opened his eyes and said that—quitc suddenly—and then died, poor chap.” “Oh, well,” said Frankie, turning it over in ber mind, “I don’t see that you need worry. It wasn’t impor- tant. “No, of course, not. Still I wish I'd just mentioned it. You see, I said he'd said nothing at all.” “Well, it amounts to the same thing,” said Frankie. “I mean it isn’t like ‘Tell Glayds I always loved her,’ or ‘The will is in the walnut bureau.’ or any of the proper romantic Last Words there are in books.” “You don’t think it’s worth while writing about it to them?” “I shouldn't bother. It couldn't be important.” “I expect you're right,” said Bob- by and turned his attention with re- newed vigor to the game. But the matter did not really dis- miss itself from his mind. It was a small point but it fretted him. He felt very faintly uncomfortable about it. Frankie's point of view was, he felt sure, the right and sensible one. The thing was of no importance let it go. But his conscience continued to reproach him faintly. He had said that the dead man had said nothing. That wasn’t true. It was all very said Bobby hap- PICKS TARTAN DESIGN FOR SCOTLAND VISIT (By Associated Press) EDINBURGH. Scotland, Feb. 13.—The Duke of Kent is to have! his own tartan—light blue, with a dark blue shade in parts, and white stripes. Members of the royal usually wear the royal tartans when in Scotland. ordinary royal Stuart has red squares, the Stuart j family Stuart; The large | hunting trivial and silly, but he couldn't feel quite comfortable about it. INALLY that evening on an im- pulse he sat down and wrote to Mr. Cayman. Dear Mr. Cayman: I have just remembered that your brother -in-law did actually say something before he died. I think the exact words were “Why didn't they ask Evans?” I apologize for not mentioning this this morning, but I attached no importance to the words at the time and so, I suppose, they slipped my memory. Yours truly, ROBERT JONES On the next day but one he re- ceived a reply. Dear Mr. Jones: Your letter of 6th instant to hand. Many thanks for repeating my poor brother-in-law’s last words so punctiliously in spite of their trivial character. What my wife ped was that her brother might ve left her some last message. ill, thank you for being so con- jentious. Yours faithfully, LEO CAYMAN Bobby felt snubbed. ho} hi “It wasn’t important,” said Frankie.
