"Yes. I was at Contessa Martinelli's. There were about eighteen or twenty of us."
　　"And you thought that somebody tried to kill you.How was that?"
　　"Well, a big box of chocolates and sweets andthings came for me. There was a card with it written in Italian in a flowery hand. Thesort of thing they say, you know, 'To the bellissimaSignorina.' Something like that. And my friends and I –well – we laughed about it a bit, andwondered who'd send it."
　　"Did it come by post?"
　　"No. No, it couldn'thave come by post. It was just there in my room. Someone must have put it there."
　　"I see. Bribed one of the servants, I suppose. Iam to take it that you didn't let the Contessa whoever-it-wasin on this?"
　　A faint smile appeared on Elvira's face. "No. No. We certainly didn't. Anyway we opened the box and they were lovely chocolates. Different kinds,you know, but there were some violet creams. That's the sortof chocolate that has a crystallised violet on top. My favourite. So of course I ate oneor two of those first. And then afterwards, in the night, I felt terribly ill. I didn't think it was the chocolates, I just thought it was something perhaps that I'd eaten at dinner."
