'Paul Bentley was convinced that Agnes, the famous author, was mad and suffering from delusions, when he saw her give one of her sleeping tablets to her pet macaw. He knew then that he could not kill her—that she suspected everyone of trying to kill her, and for that reason no one could ever kill her without entangling with the law. This made Paul Bentley revise his scheme. Accordingly, when he read in the newspapers that she had died from poisoning, he was convinced that she had committed suicide. He was confident that the poisoned pills he had left for her had not been the cause of her death. At last Paul felt safe and happy, and then one day he had a mysterious visitor—a man who brought him a macaw, a big green bird that was to avenge the death of his mistress.'
