"And women,even the best of them,are a bit catty about other women.Ofcourse,Thora was invaluable to my brother-he always said she was the bestsecretary he ever had-and he was very fond of her,too.But it was allperfectly straight and above-board.I mean,Thora isn't the sort ofgirl-""No?"said Poirot helpfully. "But my sister-in-law got it into her head to be-well-jealous,I suppose. Not that she ever showed anything.But after Car's death,when there wasa question of Miss Grey staying on-well,Charlotte cut up rough.Of course,it's partly the illness and the morphia and all that-Nurse Capstick saysso-she says we mustn't blame Charlotte for getting these ideas into herhead-"He paused.

"What I want you to understand,M.Poirot,is that there isn't anythingin it at all.It's just a sick woman's imaginings.Look here"-he fumbled inhis pocket-"here's a letter I received from my brother when I was in theMalay States.I'd like you to read it because it shows exactly what termsthey were on." Poirot took it.Franklin came over beside him and with a pointing fingerread some of the extracts out loud. "-things go on here much as usual.Charlotte is moderately free frompain.I wish one could say more.You may remember Thora Grey?She is a deargirl and a greater comfort to me than I can tell you.I should not have knownwhat to do through this bad time but for her.
