At
half
an
hour
after
midnight
,
as
you
all
know
,
the
train
ran
into
a
snowdrift
.
After
that
time
it
was
impossible
for
anyone
to
leave
the
train
.
"
The
evidence
of
Mr.
Hardman
,
who
is
a
member
of
a
New
York
Detective
Agency
"
(
several
heads
turned
to
look
at
Mr.
Hardman
)
"
shows
that
no
one
could
have
passed
his
compartment
(
No.
16
at
the
extreme
end
)
without
being
seen
by
him
.
We
are
therefore
forced
to
the
conclusion
that
the
murderer
is
to
be
found
among
the
occupants
of
one
particular
coach
--
the
Stamboul-Calais
coach
.
"
That
,
I
will
say
,
was
our
theory
.
"
"
Comment
?
"
ejaculated
M.
Bouc
,
startled
.
"
But
I
will
put
before
you
an
alternative
theory
.
It
is
very
simple
.
Mr.
Ratchett
had
a
certain
enemy
whom
he
feared
.
He
gave
Mr.
Hardman
a
description
of
this
enemy
and
told
him
that
the
attempt
,
if
made
at
all
,
would
most
probably
be
made
on
the
second
night
out
from
Stamboul
.
"
"
Now
I
put
it
to
you
,
ladies
and
gentlemen
,
that
Mr.
Ratchett
knew
a
good
deal
more
than
he
told
.
The
enemy
as
Mr.
Ratchett
expected
,
joined
the
train
at
Belgrade
,
or
possibly
at
Vincouci
,
by
the
door
left
open
by
Colonel
Arbuthnot
and
Mr.
MacQueen
who
had
just
descended
to
the
platform
.
He
was
provided
with
a
suit
of
Wagon
Lit
uniform
,
which
he
wore
over
his
ordinary
clothes
,
and
a
pass
key
which
enabled
him
to
gain
access
to
Mr.
Ratchett
's
compartment
in
spite
of
the
door
being
locked
.
Mr.
Ratchett
was
under
the
influence
of
a
sleeping
draught
.
This
man
stabbed
him
with
great
ferocity
and
left
the
compartment
through
the
communicating
door
leading
to
Mrs.
Hubbard
's
compartment
--
"
"
That
's
so
,
"
said
Mrs.
Hubbard
,
nodding
her
head
.
"
He
thrust
the
dagger
he
had
used
into
Mrs.
Hubbard
's
sponge
bag
in
passing
.
Without
knowing
it
,
he
lost
a
button
of
his
uniform
.
Then
he
slipped
out
of
the
compartment
and
along
the
corridor
.
He
hastily
thrust
the
uniform
into
a
suitcase
in
an
empty
compartment
,
and
a
few
minutes
later
,
dressed
in
ordinary
clothes
,
he
left
the
train
just
before
it
started
off
.
Again
using
the
same
means
of
egress
--
the
door
near
the
dining
car
.
"
Everybody
gasped
.
