(1)sat in Mr. Fortescue's sanctum behind Mr. Fortescue's vast sycamore desk.

(2)one of his underlings with a notebook sat unobtrusively against the wall

(3)a smart soldierly appearance with crisp brown hair growing back from a rather low forehead

(4)when he uttered the phrase 'just a matter of routine' those addressed were wont to think spitefully

(6)which he applied to such persons as he was interrogating at the time

(7)picked out with an unerring eye

(8)give him a succint account of the events

(9)having given him an admirable resume of the morning's happenings

(10)Neele propounded to himself three separate highly coloured reasons why the faithful doyenne of the typist's room should

have poisoned her employer's mid-morning cup of tea, and rejected them as unlikely.

(11)He classified Miss Griffith as... (c)No pronounced mental instability, (d)Not a woman who cherished grudges. That really

seemed to dispose of Miss Griffith except as a source of accurate information.

(12)
Inspector Neele pressed a buzzer conveniently situated at his left hand and demanded Mr. Fortescue's personal secretary

should be sent in to him.

(13)
Miss Grosvenor had recovered a little of her poise, but not much. She came in apprehensively, with nothing of the swanlike

glide about her motions, she said at once defensively:

(14)
He indicated the chair where Miss Grosvenor was wont to place herself, pad in hand, when summened to take down Mr.

Fortescue's letters.

(15)
She sat down now with reluctance and eyed Inspector Neele in alarm.

(16)
Inspector Neele, his mind playing imaginatively on the themes Seduction? Blackmail? Platinum Blonde in Court? etc.,looked

reassuring and a little stupid.

(17)
Inspector Neele nodded in a satisfied fashion.

(18)
No Love Nest. Respectable home with parents.

(19)
Another good set of speculative theories washed out.

(20)
Unhurried, Inspector Neele took her closely through the morning ritual of Mr. Fortescue's tea.

(21)
The cup and saucer and teapot had been packed up and dispatched to appropriate quarter for analysis.

(22)

    (1)He nodded to Miss Grosvenor in dismissal.

    (2)As the voice spoke he made a few cryptic signs with a pencil on the corner of the blotter in front of him.

    (3)His eye went to the watch on his wrist.

    (4)Inspector Neele said,'Right. Put him through,' which rather scandalized the owner of the voice, who had allowed a certain amount of reverence to seep into the official accents.

    (5)
    There were then various clicks, buzzes, far-off gostly murmurs.

    (6)
    Then without warning a deep bass roar caused him to shift the receiver an inch or two away from his ear.

    (7)
    Hallo, Neele, you old vulture. At it again with your corpses?

    (8)
    had remained on friendly terms.

    (9)
    There will have to be an autopsy, naturally. Very interesting case. Very interesting indeed.

    (10)
    The perfessional gusto in Bernsdorff's rich tones told Inspector Neele one thing at least. 'I gather you don't think it was natural death,' he said dryly.

    (11)
    'Not a dog's chance of it,' said Dr Berndorff robustly,'I'm speaking unofficially, of course,' he added with belated causion.

    (12)
    'Definitely....I'd be prepared to make a bet on what the poison was.'

    (13)
    'Taxine, my boy. Taxine.'

    (14)
    'Really delightfully unusual! I don't say I'd have spotted it myself if I hadn't had a case only three or four weeks ago. Couple of kids playing doll's tea-parties- pulled berries off a yew tree and used them for tea.'

    (15)
    Taxine, of course, is the alkaloid. Don't think I've heard of a case where it was used deliberately.

    (16)
    You've no idea, Neele, how tired one gets of the inevitable weed-killer. Taxine is a real treat. Of course, I maybe wrong - don't quote me, for Heaven's sake.

    (17)
    with the exception of the victim

    (18)
    Dr Berndorff's tone was perfunctory.

    (19)
    He muttered something once about tea.

    (20)
    Inspector Neele, who had been reviewing speculatively the picture of glamorous Miss Grosvenor adding yew berries to a brew of tea, and finding it incongruous.

    (21)
    I understand the symptoms came on immediatelly.

    (22)
    'Well, there are very few of poisons that act as quickly as that, apart from cyanides, of course - and possibly pure nicotine.'

    (23)
    He'd have been dead before the ambulance arrived. I did suspect strycnine, but the convulsions were not at all typical. Still unofficial, of course, but I'll stake my reputation it's taxine.

    (24)
    Deceased looked like a hearty eater.

    (1)
    I'd like to speak to my sergeant before you ring off.

    (2)
    And then the sound of heavy breathing came through, an inevitable prelude to Sergeant Hay's conversation.'Sir,'he said urgently.'Sir.'

    (3)
    I checked the contents of the pocket. The usual stuff - handkerchief, keys, change, wallet - but there was one thing that downlight peculiar. The right-hand pocket of his jacket. It had cereal in it.

    (4)
    Farmer's Glory. Or do you mean corn or barley.That's right sir. Grain it was. Looked like rye to me.

    (5)
    I see... Odd...

    (6)
    I'd better mention it.

    (7)
    Inspector Neele sat staring ahead of him for a few moments after he had replaced the telephone receiver. His orderly mind was moving from Phase I to Phase II of the inquiry - from suspicion of poisoning to certainty of poisoning.

    (8)
    Rex Fortescue had been poisoned and the poison had probably been administered one to three hours before the onset of the first symptoms. It seemed probable, therefore, that the office stuff could be given a clean bill of health.

    (9)
    A little desultory work was being done but the typewriters were not going at full speed.

    (10)
    She sat down in her composed efficient way. Without preamble, Inspector Neele said:

    (11)
    She was not, Neele noted, at all distressed.

    (12)
    I have already tried to get into communication with Mrs Fortescue. There is some uncertainty as to which course she is playing on. She added in an explanatory manner.

    1
    It had excellent train service, was only twenty miles from London and was comparatively easy to reach by car even in the rush

    of morning and evening traffic.

    2
    'What?' The sharp query slipped out before Inspector Neele could control it.

    3
    Miss Griffith looked faintly curious.

    4
    Can you give me particulars of his family?

    5
    The daughter lives at home and so does the elder son, who is a partner in the firm.

    6
    He is expected to return tomorrow.

    7
    After Mr Fortescue was removed to hospital I rang up the Midland Hotel in Manchester.

    8
    But he forced himself to abandon these speculations and concentrate once more on Mr Fortescue's home front.

    9
    But owing to a disagreement with his father he lives abroad.

    10
    He and his wife occupy a self-contained flat in Yewtree Lodge.

    11
    Miss Griffith sounded a little breathless and her cheeks were faintly brushd, who was quick to catch the moods of human

    beings, realized that this marriage and thrilled the snob and the romantic in Miss Griffith. The aristocracy was the

    aristocracy to Miss Griffith and the fact that the late Lord Frederich Anstice had had a somewhat unsavoury reputation in

    sporting circles was almost certainly not known to her.

    12
    Freddie Anstice had blown his brains out just before an inquiry by the Stewards into the running of one of his horses.

    13
    Neele remembered something vaguely about his wife.

    14
    And now, it seemed, she was married to the black sheep of the Fortescue family, for Neele assumed that the disagreement with

    his father, refered to primly by Miss Griffith, stood for some disgraceful incident in young Lancelot Fortescue's career.

    15
    The voice struck Inspector Neele as slightly alcoholic.

    16
    Are you the butler?

    17
    The man sounded doubtful.

    18
    His retreating footsteps were audible through the phone.

    19
    The voice was low and well poised, with clear-cut enuciation. Inspector Neele formed a favourable picture of Miss Dove.

    20
    I'm anxious to get in touch with his relatives.
