"It's this way," he said, "so far, we've only seen the case from the outside. That's where the Yard's at a disadvantage in a case of this kind, where the murder's only out, so to speak, after the inquest. A lot depends on being on the spot first thing, and that's where Mr. Poirot's had the start of us.
The major had hardly looked at the newspapers, when the name of Rushbrook caught his eye; he turned to it, read a portion, and gave a loud whistle of surprise. "What's the matter, my dear?" asked Mrs McShane. "Murder's the matter, my jewel," returned the major; "but don't interrupt me just now, for I'm breathless with confusion."
Murder's bloody hand, nerved by all the worst passions of man, has struck down, not only the guilty, but also the innocent, the weak and helpless. It is a perversion of the Creator's intention regarding mankind. He made men to dwell in peace and happiness. He put the solitary in families that each member might contribute to the well-being of the whole. Every man is his brother's keeper.
There was a murder there, and a damn poor thing of a murder it was, nothing but a fudge-mounter cuttin' a besom-filer's throat; poor wench, 'er lived up on th' Higherland yonder, and I'll bet it was wuth two-and-twenty barrel of beer to owd Wat. A murder's clean providential to a pub " "Damn, get out," vociferated the Colonel, "or I'll provide the murder and you the corpse."
"Och, then, the murder's out," she thought; "the mane creature has been listening, and faith now he shall have a pill that will settle his stomach intirely. What were you saying, Miss Annie?" she asked aloud, turning towards Annie's carriage. "I said that you did not tell him the whole truth." "Small matter for that. It was all he asked for, and it's better plazed he is than if it were more.
"Whew! now the murder's out," mentally exclaimed the first-lieutenant. "Call him down immediately, Mr W , if you please and recollect that I disapprove of the system." "Certainly, sir; but really, Captain L , I don't know what I shall do if you restrict my power of punishing the young gentlemen; they are so extremely unruly.
And if things are as bad as they say I'd better tell you, even if I get into trouble doing it. I will, probably. Murder's nothing to them." "Who are 'them'?" "You get the police to search the Myers Housecleaning Company, in the Searing Building." "Don't you think you'd better tell me more than that? The police will want something definite to go on." She hesitated. "I don't know very much.
So you'd better put it this way: since Gilverthwaite sent me to meet some man at the place where this murder's been committed well?" "That'll be one of your lawyer's quibbles," said he calmly. "My meaning's plain enough we'll want to find out, if we can, who it was that Gilverthwaite sent you to meet. And for what reason? And where it was that the man was to wait for him?
Only when the latter becomes free to choose his associates for a common purpose, can we hope for order and harmony out of this world of chaos and inequality. For the rest, my book must speak for itself. Emma Goldman Ever reviled, accursed, ne'er understood, Thou art the grisly terror of our age. "Wreck of all order," cry the multitude, "Art thou, and war and murder's endless rage."
Good God! Haven't you seen enough of murder in the past four years? I could readily fancy you going in for some sort of revenge but I should have expected something more original " "Murder's natural enough when you've seen nothing else as long as I have. And as for human life how much value do you suppose I place on it after four years of war?
