Styles
The intense interest aroused ___ the public by what was known ___ the time as
"The Styles Case" has now somewhat subsided. Nevertheless, ___ view ___ the
world-wide notoriety which attended it, I have been asked, both by my friend
Poirot and the family themselves, to write an account ___ the whole story. This,
we trust, will effectually silence the sensational rumours which still persist.

I had been invalided home from the Front; and, after spending some months ___ a
rather depressing Convalescent Home, was given a month's sick leave. Having no
near relations or friends, I was trying to make up my mind what to do, when I
ran across John Cavendish. I had seen very little ___ him ___ some years.
Indeed, I had never known him particularly well. He was a good fifteen years my
senior, ___ one thing, though he hardly looked his forty-five years. As a
boy, though, I had often stayed ___ Styles, his mother's place ___ Essex.

I am afraid I showed my surprise rather plainly. Mrs. Cavendish, who had married
John's father when he was a widower ___ two sons, had been a handsome woman ___
middle-age as I remembered her. She certainly could not be a day less than
seventy now. I recalled her as an energetic, autocratic personality, somewhat
inclined ___ charitable and social notoriety, ___ a fondness ___ opening bazaars
and playing the Lady Bountiful. She was a most generous woman, and possessed a
considerable fortune ___ her own.

Their country-place, Styles Court, had been purchased by Mr. Cavendish early ___
their married life. He had been completely under his wife's ascendancy, so much
so that, ___ dying, he left the place ___ her ___ her lifetime, as well as
the larger part ___ his income; an arrangement that was distinctly unfair ___
his two sons. Their step-mother, however, had always been most generous ___
them; indeed, they were so young ___ the time ___ their father's remarriage that
they always thought ___ her as their own mother.
