Бобби и Фрэнки внезапно замолчали. Сейчас, когда их окружал спокойный английский ландшафт, все вроде бы очевидные доказательства замыслов Николсона казались нелепыми.
Мойра резко встала и стремительно пошла прочь. Фрэнки бросилась догонять ее и через пять минут вернулась. Фрэнки успокоила Мойру, сказав, что понимает, как неловко слышать, как кому-то рассказывают о твоих тайных страхах.
Фрэнки внимательно выслушала Бобби и сказала, что опасения Мойры подтверждаются двумя фактами. Во-первых, однажды Фрэнки наткнулась на Николсона, когда он сжимал руки Сильвии. В этот момент Николсон пронзил Фрэнки взглядом. Во-вторых, в разговоре с Фрэнки Сильвия как-то упомянула, что фотография Мойры произвела огромное впечатление на знакомого их друзей. Без всякого сомнения, это был Алан Карстейрс.

Фрэнки улыбнулась удача – неподалеку от дома она встретила Роджера, и они разговорились. Роджер рассказал ей, что его попросили до приезда полиции побыть возле тела погибшего. Роджер заметил, что из его кармана что-то виднелось. Это оказалась фотография Мойры Николсон. Роджер поддался внезапному порыву и вытащил фотографию, а затем порвал ее.
Фрэнки не могла пожаловаться на отсутствие интереса у Роджера. Ее рассказ заинтересовал Роджера и произвел на него сильное впечатление. Теперь их стремление докопаться до сути этой загадочной истории усилилось.
Вероятно, Кейман следил за Карстейрсом, подкрался к нему сзади и столкнул со скалы. Через несколько дней миссис Кейман явилась в полицию и, проливая крокодиловы слезы, узнала в покойном своего брата.
