Another Man's Poison Page #3

Tarn?

It's a natural lake 60 feet deep.

Where is it?

There would have to be weights.

Stones from the tarn side.

It's a deserted road. Never used.

Who else lives in the house beside you.

Chris dale, my secretary. She's away until monday.

Maids?

Daily.

She finished yesterday for the weekend.

Who else comes here?

No one. I've been working on a new book.

The only person i've seen for weeks is a dr. Henderson.

Where does he fit in?

He's the local vet. Still be home tonight.

He's been treating fury.

Did he ever meet your husband.

No one has. Not even chris.

I told you they think he's in malaya.

Where did you get the poison?

A compound henderson made for fury.

Hello, boy.

What time did preston get here?

Early this morning.

Was he seen?

I think not. There was a heavy mist. We were alone all day.

The station. The ticket collector.

He was muffled up in a scarf.

Taxi?

He walked.

Nobody saw me either.

I traveled on trucks and coal trains.

Nobody saw me, janet.

No, that's impossible.

Is it? Why?

I won't do it.

You'll do as i say.

Your husband's dead. You killed him.

They can't hang you for it as long as you can produce him alive.

I'll make a good husband, janet.

Better than he ever did.

Someone's coming.

Do get out.

Who is it?

It's me again.

I'm sorry to trouble you. May i come in?

I hope i'm not disturbing you, mrs. Frobisher.

What is it this late?

I know. I should have asked you in the car.

But you know how vague i am.

I'd like to collect the compound.

The compound.

The medicine i made up for fury.

Now that he's better. I think it might be safer with me.

Oh. I used it up.

All of it?

Yes.

And the horse still standing?

It's a miracle.

I shall have to put it on the market.

Why? Is it dangerous?

In large quantities, yes. I thought i warned you about it at the time.

Did you.

I thought i did.

Oh, there's no need to worry. I won't let anything happen to fury.

Oh, i'm sure you wouldn't, my dear.

Oh, as a favor to me. Would you mind not telling the chemist about it?

You see, i get all my raw materials from him.

And he's very easy going,...

you don't mean to say he's back?

Who?

Well, how stupid of me not to guess.

As your next door neighbor.

I think i might be allowed

to be the first to receive him, officially.

Receive whom?

Well, your husband.

Oh, come now. Won't you please introduce me?

Yes. Of course she will.

My wife wasn't trying to be inhospitable.

Allow me to introduce myself. I'm george preston.

How do you do, my dear sir. Good evening.

So you're really mrs. Preston?

You've been keeping secrets from me.

Frobisher is only a pen name.
