Book: The murder at the Vicarage. Page 4



We are full of prejudice, arrogance and hypocrisy and love to judge what you don't understand. I sincerely believe that the criminal who wants the doctor, not the police and not a priest. And in the future, I hope, crimes do not.
- You could treat them?
We would cure them. What an amazing idea! Have you ever been interested in crime statistics? No? Very few are interested in it. And I studied it. You would be shocked by the number of juvenile offenders - again, that's in the glands, you know? Young Neil the killer from Oxfordshire, was killed five little girls before he was arrested. A good boy, never any fault for him not were carried out. Lily rose, the little girl from Cornwall, had his uncle killed because he was not allowed to eat lots of candy. Hit it with a hammer for breaking coal, when he was asleep. She was sent home, and it two weeks later murdered his elder sister for some trifling offense. Of course, they were not sentenced to be hanged. Sent to correctional institutions. Maybe the age was corrected, but maybe not. Girl, anyway, makes me doubt. Is not interested, loves to look like cut pigs. You know, at what age falls high suicide rates? Fifteen or sixteen years old. From suicide to murder not too far away. But this is not a moral defect but a physical one.
- It is terrible to listen to what you say!
- No, just it's for you again. You have to look directly in the face of new, unfamiliar truths. And accordingly to change their concepts. Sometimes, however, it greatly complicates life.

Now we think with horror of those times when burning at the stake of witches. It seems to me that the days will come, when we are shaken at the thought that we ever hanged criminals.
- Are you against capital punishment?
- It's not even in it. He paused. "I know," slowly he said, - my profession is still better than yours.
Why?
- Because you very often have to judge who is right and who is wrong, and I'm not sure that you can be the judge. And if all this is entirely dependent on endocrine glands? Too active one gland, too little developed other - and here before you is a murderer, a thief, a repeat offender. Clement, I am convinced that the time will come when we with horror and disgust will remember for centuries when we've allowed ourselves to revel in the so-called fair punishment for the crimes and realize that condemned and punished people that were not able to cope with the disease, the poor guy! Don't hang the tuberculosis!
- He's not a danger to others.
- No, in a sense, he's dangerous. It can infect others. Okay, let's take, for example, the poor soul who imagines that he is Emperor of China. You can't accuse him of malice. I agree that society needs to be protected. Put these people somewhere where they can do no harm, even eliminate them through painless, Yes, I am willing to accept extreme measures, but just don't call it punishment. Don't kill the shame of their families - innocent people.

Deep down, Mrs. Price Ridley began a bitter struggle. Stealth struggled with vindictiveness. Vindictiveness prevailed.

The voice was male or female?
- The voice of the degenerate - the authoritative said Mrs. Price Ridley.

Melchett - man veteran. He knows that the only way of dealing with angry middle-aged woman is listen to her until the end. When she's going to say everything I wanted to say, there will be at least a small chance that she will listen to what you tell her.

We found Mrs. Price Ridley is in the station: it is with incredible rate of fire led the verbal attack on a heavily bewildered attendant constable. I at first glance realized that she was outraged to the extreme bow in her bonnet, eloquently shook. Mrs. Price Ridley wears what I understand, a hat, called "hat for the venerable mother of the family," - brand goods produced in the neighboring town of Macha-Benem. This hat gracefully balanced on the Bastion of the hair, although somewhat overloaded with lush silk bows. When Griselda wants to scare me, she's threatening to buy a "hat for the venerable mother of the family".

The servants, as a rule, a sense of humor - is as rare as the police.

- Maybe she heard something. It you're not deaf, she's all right?
- I would say that her hearing extremely acute. I judge by the amount of gossip, which she dismisses, saying that "I heard by chance".

His finger in the mouth do not put. He's like a ferret. Going to figure out the truth as soon as you take the trail.

- However, the old Marple shows that gun when it was not, but these elderly ladies are often mistaken.
I said nothing, but disagreed with him. I was quite sure that Mrs Prothero's revolver was not, as soon as miss Marple claims it. Miss Marple is not one of those "old ladies" that are wrong. She in some incomprehensible way is always right. Sometimes even shiver.

After all, nothing wrong with it. There was nothing. We wanted to be friends. But do not love each other we could not.

I found someone to believe - the doctor. You will rip all the teeth one of present-day doctors are like that - and then: Oh, excuse me, do you, it appears, was appendicitis! The doctor called!

- Yes, she is the whole life of this village the nose does not protrude! Too much takes! What can she know about life?
I humbly replied that if miss Marple knows practically nothing about Life with a capital letter, about life in St Mary Mead she knows all the ropes.

No really, if it comes to murder, always awful trying to remember every detail.
- How do you know, my dear, ' I observed mildly. - You never killed anyone.

The menu was composed of luxury, and Mary seemed to get some sick pleasure, with malicious ingenuity of alternating half-baked dishes with a shamelessly overdone. However, Griselda ordered the oysters, which, as it might seem, are beyond the reach of any clumsy - as they are served raw - but we also do not have a taste, because there was no tool to open them, we noticed this omission only in the moment when it is time to try oysters.
