Ring Ring...
the telephone rang inside,
startingly, and as daisy shook her head decisively at Tom
the subject of the stables, in fact all subjects,
vanished into air. Among the broken fragments of the last five minutes at table
i remember the candles being lit again,
pointlessly,
and i was conscious of wanting
to look squarely at everyone
yet to avoid all eyes.
I couldn't guess what daisy and tom were thinking
but i doubt if even miss baker
who seemed to have mastered a certain hardy skepticism
was able utterly to put this fifth guest's shrill metallic urgency
out of mind.
To a certain temperament the situation might have seemed intriguing--
my own instinct was to telephone immediately for the police.
