December 4, 1926
Archie wonders at the source of a booming voice, distressed by the sound of it. He wants to risk asking for quiet but before he can, Kenward, the source of the voice, enters without knocking. He asks Archie to repeat the events of the days prior, which causes Archie to worry that his answers are somehow suspicious. He searches for skepticism in Kenward’s every response. Kenward is particularly interested in the Christies’ weekend plans and asks if it was Agatha who wasn’t invited to Archie’s event, or if Archie wasn’t invited to Agatha’s supposed plans. Archie tries to hide Nancy’s presence at the Jameses, but Kenward seems to already know. Archie panics and says Nancy was needed as a fourth player for golf and is relieved when Kenward brings up that Nancy is a friend of Mrs. James.
Another police officer enters and whispers to Kenward. Kenward tells Archie that this is his chance to “do anything,” as Archie phrased it, to find Agatha: her car has been discovered, abandoned.
January 1913-November 1914
