What
motive
?
Money
!
M
.
Renauld
was
a
millionaire
several
times
over
,
and
at
his
death
(
or
so
she
and
Jack
believed
)
half
that
vast
fortune
would
pass
to
his
son
.
Let
us
reconstruct
the
scene
from
the
standpoint
of
Marthe
Daubreuil
.
“
Marthe
Daubreuil
overhears
what
passes
between
Renauld
and
his
wife
.
So
far
he
has
been
a
nice
little
source
of
income
to
the
Daubreuil
mother
and
daughter
,
but
now
he
proposes
to
escape
from
their
toils
.
At
first
,
possibly
,
her
idea
is
to
prevent
that
escape
.
But
a
bolder
idea
takes
its
place
,
and
one
that
fails
to
horrify
the
daughter
of
Jeanne
Beroldy
!
At
present
M
.
Renauld
stands
inexorably
in
the
way
of
her
marriage
with
Jack
.
If
the
latter
defies
his
father
,
he
will
be
a
pauper
—
which
is
not
at
all
to
the
mind
of
Mademoiselle
Marthe
.
In
fact
,
I
doubt
if
she
has
ever
cared
a
straw
for
Jack
Renauld
.
She
can
simulate
emotion
,
but
in
reality
she
is
of
the
same
cold
,
calculating
type
as
her
mother
.
I
doubt
,
too
,
whether
she
was
really
very
sure
of
her
hold
over
the
boy
’
s
affections
.
She
had
dazzled
and
captivated
him
,
but
separated
from
her
,
as
his
father
could
so
easily
manage
to
separate
him
,
she
might
lose
him
.
But
with
M
.
Renauld
dead
,
and
Jack
the
heir
to
half
his
millions
,
the
marriage
can
take
place
at
once
,
and
at
a
stroke
she
will
attain
wealth
—
not
the
beggarly
thousands
that
have
been
extracted
from
him
so
far
.
And
her
clever
brain
takes
in
the
simplicity
of
the
thing
.
It
is
all
so
easy
.
M
.
Renauld
is
planning
all
the
circumstances
of
his
death
—
she
has
only
to
step
in
at
the
right
moment
and
turn
the
farce
into
a
grim
reality
.
And
here
comes
in
the
second
point
which
led
me
infallibly
to
Marthe
Daubreuil
—
the
dagger
!
Jack
Renauld
had
three
souvenirs
made
.
One
he
gave
to
his
mother
,
one
to
Bella
Duveen
;
was
it
not
highly
probable
that
he
had
given
the
third
one
to
Marthe
Daubreuil
?
“
So
then
,
to
sum
up
,
there
were
four
points
of
note
against
Marthe
Daubreuil
:
“
(
1
)
Marthe
Daubreuil
could
have
overheard
M
.
Renauld
’
s
plans
.
“
(
2
)
Marthe
Daubreuil
had
a
direct
interest
in
causing
M
.
Renauld
’
s
death
.
“
(
3
)
Marthe
Daubreuil
was
the
daughter
of
the
notorious
Madame
Beroldy
who
in
my
opinion
was
morally
and
virtually
the
murderess
of
her
husband
,
although
it
may
have
been
Georges
Conneau
’
s
hand
which
struck
the
actual
blow
.
“
(
4
)
Marthe
Daubreuil
was
the
only
person
,
besides
Jack
Renauld
,
likely
to
have
the
third
dagger
in
her
possession
.
”
Poirot
paused
and
cleared
his
throat
.
“
Of
course
,
when
I
learned
of
the
existence
of
the
other
girl
,
Bella
Duveen
,
I
realized
that
it
was
quite
possible
that
she
might
have
killed
M
.
Renauld
.
The
solution
did
not
commend
itself
to
me
,
because
,
as
I
pointed
out
to
you
,
Hastings
,
an
expert
,
such
as
I
am
,
likes
to
meet
a
foeman
worthy
of
his
steel
.
Still
one
must
take
crimes
as
one
finds
them
,
not
as
one
would
like
them
to
be
.
It
did
not
seem
very
likely
that
Bella
Duveen
would
be
wandering
about
carrying
a
souvenir
paper
-
knife
in
her
hand
,
but
of
course
she
might
have
had
some
idea
all
the
time
of
revenging
herself
on
Jack
Renauld
.
When
she
actually
came
forward
and
confessed
to
the
murder
,
it
seemed
that
all
was
over
.
And
yet
—
I
was
not
satisfied
,
mon
ami
.
I
was
not
satisfied
.
