The ABC Murders Chapter Two

---

     (Not from Captain Hastings's Personal Narrative)
    Mr.Alexander Bonaparte Cust rose from his seat and peered near-sightedly
round the shabby bedroom.His back was stiff from sitthing in a cramped
position and as he stretched himself to his full height an onlooker would
have realized that he was£¬in reality£¬quite a tall man.His stoop and his
near-sighted peering gave a delusive impression.
    Going to a well-worn overcoat hanging on the back of the door£¬he took
from the pocket a packet of cheap cigarettes and some matches.He lit a
cigarette and then returned to the table at which he had been sitting.He
picked up a railway guide and consulted it£¬then he returned to the
consideration of a typewritten list of names.With a pen£¬he made a tick
against one of the first names on the list.
    It was Tursday£¬June 20th.
