I certainly did not murder Mr. Shaitana, and I could notpossibly have murdered Mrs. Lorrimer. My dear Battle”—he turned to the Scotland Yard man—“are you standing 1 for this? ”,“I think you’d better listen to what M. Poirot has to say,” said Battle quietly.,Poirot said:,“It is true that though I have known for some time that you—and only you—could have killedShaitana, it would not be an easy matter to prove it. But Mrs. Lorrimer’s case is quite different.”,Roberts grew very quiet. His eyes glittered. He said sharply:,“You are talking rubbish! ”,“Oh, no, I am not. It was early in the morning. You bluffed 2 your way into Mrs. Lorrimer’sroom, where she was still heavily asleep under the influence of the drug she had taken the nightbefore. You bluff 3 again—pretend to see at a glance that she is dead! You pack the parlourmaid offfor brandy—hot water—all the rest of it. You are left alone in the room.

A window cleaner with his ladder arrived at the same time as you did. Heplaced his ladder against the side of the house and began his work. The first window he tackledwas that of Mrs. Lorrimer’s room. When, however, he saw what was going on, he quickly retiredto another window, but he had seen something first. He shall tell us his own story.”,Poirot stepped lightly across the floor, turned a door handle, called:,They're standing out against any change in the law.他们坚决反对对法律做任何修改。,Hung-chien bluffed, "You know perfectly well yourself without my telling you." 鸿渐摆空城计道:“你心里明白,不用我说。”
