"You were planting a bed of begonias round by the south side of the house
yesterday afternoon, were you not, Manning?"
"
"
"
"
"
Yes, sir, me and Willum."
And Mrs. Inglethorp came to the window and called you, did she not?"
Yes, sir, she did."
Tell me in your own words exactly what happened after that."
Well, sir, nothing much. She just told Willum to go on his bicycle down to
the village, and bring back a form of will, or such-like--I don't know what
exactly--she wrote it down for him."
"

"
"
Well?"
Well, he did, sir."
And what happened next?"
We went on with the begonias, sir."
Did not Mrs. Inglethorp call you again?"
Yes, sir, both me and Willum, she called."
And then?"
She made us come right in, and sign our names at the bottom of a long
paper--under where she'd signed."
"Did you see anything of what was written above her signature?" asked
Poirot sharply.
"
"
"
"
No, sir, there was a bit of blotting paper over that part."
And you signed where she told you?"
Yes, sir, first me and then Willum."
What did she do with it afterwards?"
