'Very well.I would like to see Diane next.'
Diane came into the room and sat down.
'Well,Miss Clarkson,'Inspector Walsh said,'I want you to talk about last night.
Mother went to bed early and I made hot milk for her.
When did you take the milk upstairs?'
'I went up after Roger.'She stopped for a minute.Then she began again.'I didn't like my mother,Inspector.She killed my father,you know.Last winter,after Christmas,she drove the car into a tree and killed my father.'
Inspector Walsh watched Diane's face carefully.'I see.So you wanted to kill your mother?'
Diane laughed.'I wanted to kill her,but I didn't.I can tell you a lot of things about this family,Inspector.Everyone wanted Mother to die.Just like Jackie.Do you know that Jackie didn't like Mother?A long time age,a nice boy worked here.He was the gardener.Jackie loved him very much,but Mother said no.A gardener was not a good husband for a Clarkson girl!'

Inspector Walsh stood in front of the windows and looked at them,one by one.'I want to talk to you Someone killed Molly Clarkson.Someone put sleeping tablets in her hot milk and killed her Nobody wanted to tell me the true story,but now I know the true story and I'm going to tell you.'
Jackie , Peter was very angry with your mother because of that letter.He said:“I want to kill her.”And you wanted everyone to hear that. Why?'
Jackie's face went white.It's not true!What about Diane?You found the empty bottle in her bag!'
It's true:we found the bottle in Diane's bag.But how do you know that?We didn't tell you.' Inspector Walsh said
'We found your picture-an old one-in Mr Briggs'house.You were younger then,and your hair was long.Last year Tom Briggs came back,and you wanted him.He loved you,too,but he had no money.He wanted the garden for his farm,he wanted money,he wanted you.But your mother said no.In the end,you wanted to kill your mother…and you did kill her.
Jackie stood up.Her eyes were dark and afraid.'You don't understand!she cried.'Mother gave me nothing…all those years.I wanted to be happy…to be with Tom.That's all.I love Tom,and he loves me.But Mother said no.Always no.'Then she began to cry.Nobody looked at her.

克拉克森家住在剑桥附近的乡下,离最近的村庄约有半英里路,距离河有1英里左右。他们有幢大而古老带有美丽花园的房子,花园里有许多花和许多古树。
7月的一个星期四早上,杰基从花园进了屋。她是个高大,肥胖,30来岁的女人。这是一年中最热的日子,而她却穿着暖色调的黄色衬衫和棕色裙子。她走进厨房去喝水,这时电话响了。
“剑桥1379号,”杰基说。
“你好!我是黛安娜。我想和妈妈说话。”
“妈妈不在家,”杰基说。“她看医生去了。”
“怎么了?出了什么事?”
“没什么,”杰基说。“你打电话干嘛?这个周末你回来吗?妈妈希望每个人都在。”
“是啊,我想回来,”黛安娜说。“我正因为没钱买火车票,才打电话。”
“没钱!妈妈总是给你钱!”
“电话费很贵,”黛安娜冷冷说道。“请告诉妈妈,我需要钱。”
杰基放下电话,她从包里拿了枝烟抽起来。她因她的妹妹总是要钱感到生气。黛安娜20岁了,在家里最小。她住在伦敦,在一所大房子里有间屋子。她想成为一个歌唱家,她唱得很棒可是她却从来不愿找工作。
杰基走回厨房动手做一些三明治。这时后门开了,她的母亲走了进来。
“天太热了!”莫利说道,她脱下帽子放在桌上。她是位高个子、皮肤浅黑,有双美丽眼睛的女人。
两条大黑狗跟着她进了厨房围着她转,她坐下来把手放在它们的头上。
杰基把三明治放在桌上。“妈妈,”她说道,“黛安娜打来电话,她想要钱买火车票。”
莫利闭上眼一会,然后站起来。“下午我希望你收拾一下房子为周末做准备,”她说。“哦,随后请去村
