II
It was three days later when Miss Marple wrote to Mr. Broadribb. It was a
very short letter, keeping strictly to the point.
“Dear Mr. Broadribb,
I have considered the suggestion you made to me and I am
letting you know that I have decided to accept the proposal
made to me by the late Mr. Rafiel. I shall do my best to
comply with his wishes, though I am not at all assured of
success. Indeed, I hardly see how it is possible for me to be
successful. I have been given no direct instructions in his
letter and have not been—I think the term is briefed—in
any way. If you have any further communication you are
holding for me which sets out definite instructions, I
should be glad if you will send it to me, but I imagine that
as you have not done so, that is not the case.
I presume that Mr. Rafiel was of sound mind and disposi-
tion when he died? I think I am justified in asking if there
has been recently in his life any criminal affair in which he
might possibly have been interested, either in the course of
his business or in his personal relations. Has he ever ex-
pressed to you any anger or dissatisfaction with some not-
able miscarriage of justice about which he felt strongly? If
so, I think I should be justified in asking you to let me know
about it. Has any relation or connection of his suffered
some hardship, lately been the victim of some unjust deal-
ing, or what might be considered as such?
I am sure you will understand my reasons for asking these
things. Indeed, Mr. Rafiel himself may have expected me
to do so.”
