"Well," said Joyce, "how would it be if we formed a Club? What is it today? Tuesday? We will call it the Tuesday Night Club. It is to meet every week, and each member in turn has to propound a problem. Some mystery of which they have personal knowledge, and to which, of course, they know the answer. Let me see, how many are we? One, two, three, four, five. We ought really to be six."

"You have forgotten me, dear," said Miss Marple, smiling brightly.

Joyce was taken slightly aback, but she concealed the fact quickly. "That would be lovely, Miss Marple," she said. "I didn't think you would care to play."
