While this fellow ends up looking the prize turkey of the piece as it goes, he and his aged relative fare the best in the end, which establishes the settled order of -- well, the settled order. The miscreants are not depicted here as meeting their justice, but we kind of know they will. Instead, we see the young enterprising chap and his aged relative succeeding to their course of well intention into continued well being. Right ho.

Well acted early short story with a touch of the supernatural. While Christie, like any prolific mystery genre author, dealt some in the supernatural, she never exalted it as darkly supreme. This was rightly handled in this instance, I thought.

Bung ho.
