Her

wavering

glance

fluctuated

between

the

three

men

.

Poirot

leaned

forward

.

"

Tell

it

to

me

,

Madame

,

"

he

said

.

"

But

,

first

,

pray

be

seated

.

"

Mrs.

Hubbard

plumped

heavily

down

on

to

the

seat

opposite

to

him

What

I

've

got

to

tell

you

is

just

this

.

There

was

a

murder

on

the

train

last

night

,

and

the

murderer

was

right

there

in

my

compartment

!

"

She

paused

to

give

dramatic

emphasis

to

her

words

.

"

You

are

sure

of

this

,

Madame

?

"

"

Of

course

I

'm

sure

!

The

idea

!

I

know

what

I

'm

talking

about

.

I

'll

tell

you

just

everything

there

is

to

tell

.

I

'd

gotten

into

bed

and

gone

to

sleep

,

and

suddenly

I

woke

up

--

all

in

the

dark

,

it

was

--

and

I

knew

there

was

a

man

in

my

compartment

.

I

was

just

so

scared

I

could

n't

scream

,

if

you

know

what

I

mean

.

I

just

lay

there

and

thought

,

'

Mercy

,

I

'm

going

to

be

killed

.

'

I

just

ca

n't

describe

to

you

how

I

felt

.

These

nasty

trains

,

I

thought

,

and

all

the

outrages

I

'd

read

of

.

And

I

thought

,

'

Well

,

anyway

,

he

wo

n't

get

my

jewellery

.

'

Because

,

you

see

,

I

'd

put

that

in

a

stocking

and

hidden

it

under

my

pillow

--

which

is

n't

so

mighty

comfortable

,

by

the

way

,

kinder

bumpy

,

if

you

know

what

I

mean

.

But

that

's

neither

here

nor

there

.

Where

was

I

?

You

realized

,

Madame

,

that

there

was

a

man

in

your

compartment

.

"

"

Yes

,

well

,

I

just

lay

there

with

my

eyes

closed

,

and

I

thought

whatever

should

I

do

,

and

I

thought

,

'

Well

,

I

'm

just

thankful

that

my

daughter

does

n't

know

the

plight

I

'm

in

.

'

And

then

,

somehow

,

I

got

my

wits

about

me

and

I

felt

about

with

my

hand

and

I

pressed

the

bell

for

the

conductor

.

I

pressed

it

and

I

pressed

it

,

but

nothing

happened

,

and

I

can

tell

you

I

thought

my

heart

was

going

to

stop

beating

.

'

Mercy

,

'

I

said

to

myself

,

'

maybe

they

've

murdered

every

single

soul

on

the

train

.

'

It

was

at

a

standstill

,

anyhow

,

and

a

nasty

quiet

feel

in

the

air

.

But

I

just

went

on

pressing

that

bell

,

and

oh

!

the

relief

when

I

heard

footsteps

coming

running

down

the

corridor

and

a

knock

on

the

door

.

'

Come

in

,

'

I

screamed

,

and

I

switched

on

the

lights

at

the

same

time

.

And

,

would

you

believe

it

,

there

was

n't

a

soul

there

.
