At
the
next
table
,
a
small
one
,
sat
Colonel
Arbuthnot
--
alone
.
His
gaze
was
fixed
upon
the
back
of
Mary
Debenham
's
head
.
They
were
not
sitting
together
.
Yet
it
could
easily
have
been
managed
.
Why
?
Perhaps
,
Poirot
thought
,
Mary
Debenham
had
demurred
.
A
governess
learns
to
be
careful
.
Appearances
are
important
.
A
girl
with
her
living
to
get
has
to
be
discreet
.
His
glance
shifted
to
the
other
side
of
the
carriage
.
At
the
far
end
,
against
the
wall
,
was
a
middle-aged
woman
dressed
in
black
with
a
broad
expressionless
face
.
German
or
Scandinavian
,
he
thought
.
Probably
a
German
lady
's
maid
.
After
her
came
a
couple
leaning
forward
and
talking
animatedly
together
.
The
man
wore
English
clothes
of
loose
tweed
--
but
he
was
not
English
.
Though
only
the
back
of
his
head
was
visible
to
Poirot
,
the
shape
of
it
and
the
set
of
the
shoulders
betrayed
him
.
A
big
man
,
well
made
.
He
turned
his
head
suddenly
and
Poirot
saw
his
profile
.
A
very
handsome
man
of
thirty
odd
with
a
big
fair
moustache
.
The
woman
opposite
him
was
a
mere
girl
--
twenty
at
a
guess
.
A
tight-fitting
little
black
coat
and
skirt
,
white
satin
blouse
,
small
chic
black
toque
perched
at
the
fashionable
outrageous
angle
.
She
had
a
beautiful
foreign-looking
face
,
dead
white
skin
,
large
brown
eyes
,
jet-black
hair
.
She
was
smoking
a
cigarette
in
a
long
holder
.
Her
manicured
hands
had
deep
red
nails
.
She
wore
one
large
emerald
set
in
platinum
.
There
was
coquetry
in
her
glance
and
voice
.
"
Elle
est
jolie
--
et
chic
,
"
murmured
Poirot
.
"
Husband
and
wife
--
eh
?
"
M.
Bouc
nodded
.
"
Hungarian
Embassy
,
I
believe
,
"
he
said
.
"
A
handsome
couple
.
"
There
were
only
two
more
lunchers
--
Poirot
's
fellow
traveller
MacQueen
and
his
employer
Mr.
Ratchett
.
The
latter
sat
facing
Poirot
,
and
for
the
second
time
Poirot
studied
that
unprepossessing
face
,
noting
the
false
benevolence
of
the
brow
and
the
small
,
cruel
eyes
.
