Seven,Mrs.?Vanderlyn swept into the room looking very handsome. She was wearing an artfully-cutrusset sports suit that showed up the warm lights of her hair. She swept to a chair and smiled in adazzling fashion at the little man in front of her.,For a moment something showed through the smile. It might have been triumph, it mightalmost have been mockery. It was gone almost immediately, but it had been there. Poirot foundthe suggestion of it interesting.,“Burglars? Last night? But how dreadful! Why no, I never heard a thing. What about thepolice? Can’t they do anything?

I’m muchtoo great an admirer of dear Lord Mayfield’s to do anything to cause him the least little bit ofworry. ”,She crossed her knees.
