Yes
,
yes
,
"
said
M.
Bouc
impatiently
.
"
I
see
all
that
.
But
where
does
the
handkerchief
come
in
?
"
"
I
am
returning
to
it
by
a
somewhat
circuitous
route
.
To
begin
with
,
you
must
realize
that
the
threatening
letters
were
in
the
nature
of
a
blind
.
They
might
have
been
lifted
bodily
out
of
an
indifferently
written
American
crime
novel
.
They
are
not
real
.
They
are
,
in
fact
,
simply
intended
for
the
police
.
What
we
have
to
ask
ourselves
is
,
'
Did
they
deceive
Ratchett
?
'
On
the
face
of
it
,
the
answer
seems
to
be
,
'
No
.
'
His
instructions
to
Hardman
seem
to
point
to
a
definite
'
private
'
enemy
of
the
identity
of
whom
he
was
well
aware
.
That
is
if
we
accept
Hardman
's
story
as
true
.
But
Ratchett
certainly
received
one
letter
of
a
very
different
character
--
the
one
containing
a
reference
to
the
Armstrong
baby
,
a
fragment
of
which
we
found
in
his
compartment
.
In
case
Ratchett
had
not
realized
it
sooner
,
this
was
to
make
sure
that
he
understood
the
reason
of
the
threats
against
his
life
.
That
letter
,
as
I
have
said
all
along
,
was
not
intended
to
be
found
.
The
murderer
's
first
care
was
to
destroy
it
.
This
,
then
,
was
the
second
hitch
in
his
plans
.
The
first
was
the
snow
,
the
second
was
our
reconstruction
of
that
fragment
.
"
That
note
being
destroyed
so
carefully
can
only
mean
one
thing
.
There
must
be
on
the
train
someone
so
intimately
connected
with
the
Armstrong
family
that
the
finding
of
that
note
would
immediately
direct
suspicion
upon
that
person
.
"
Now
we
come
to
the
other
two
clues
that
we
found
.
I
pass
over
the
pipe
cleaner
.
We
have
already
said
a
good
deal
about
that
.
Let
us
pass
on
to
the
handkerchief
.
Taken
at
its
simplest
,
it
is
a
clue
which
directly
incriminates
someone
whose
initial
is
H
,
and
it
was
dropped
there
unwittingly
by
that
person
.
"
"
Exactly
,
"
said
Dr.
Constantine
.
"
She
finds
out
that
she
has
dropped
the
handkerchief
and
immediately
takes
steps
to
conceal
her
Christian
name
.
"
"
How
fast
you
go
.
You
arrive
at
a
conclusion
much
sooner
than
I
would
permit
myself
to
do
.
"
"
Is
there
any
other
alternative
?
"
"
Certainly
there
is
.
Suppose
,
for
instance
,
that
you
have
committed
a
crime
and
wish
to
cast
suspicion
for
it
on
someone
else
.
Well
,
there
is
on
the
train
a
certain
person
connected
intimately
with
the
Armstrong
family
--
a
woman
.
Suppose
,
then
,
that
you
leave
there
a
handkerchief
belonging
to
that
woman
.
She
will
be
questioned
,
her
connection
with
the
Armstrong
family
will
be
brought
out
--
et
voilà
.
Motive
--
and
an
incriminating
article
of
evidence
.
