"
I
see
,
"
he
said
,
"
that
I
shall
have
to
give
my
second
solution
.
But
do
not
abandon
this
one
too
abruptly
.
You
may
agree
with
it
later
.
"
He
turned
back
again
to
face
the
others
.
"
There
is
another
possible
solution
of
the
crime
.
This
is
how
I
arrived
at
it
.
"
When
I
had
heard
all
the
evidence
,
I
leaned
back
and
shut
my
eyes
and
began
to
think
.
Certain
points
presented
themselves
to
me
as
worthy
of
attention
.
I
enumerated
these
points
to
my
two
colleagues
.
Some
I
have
already
elucidated
--
such
as
a
grease
spot
on
a
passport
,
etc.
.
I
will
run
over
the
points
that
remain
.
The
first
and
most
important
is
a
remark
made
to
me
by
M.
Bouc
in
the
restaurant
car
at
lunch
on
the
first
day
after
leaving
Stamboul
--
to
the
effect
that
the
company
assembled
was
interesting
because
it
was
so
varied
--
representing
as
it
did
all
classes
and
nationalities
.
"
I
agreed
with
him
,
but
when
this
particular
point
came
into
my
mind
,
I
tried
to
imagine
whether
such
an
assembly
were
ever
likely
to
be
collected
under
any
other
conditions
.
And
the
answer
I
made
to
myself
was
--
only
in
America
.
In
America
there
might
be
a
household
composed
of
just
such
varied
nationalities
--
an
Italian
chauffeur
,
and
English
governess
,
a
Swedish
nurse
,
a
French
lady
's
maid
and
so
on
.
That
led
me
to
my
scheme
of
'
guessing
'
--
that
is
,
casting
each
person
for
a
certain
part
in
the
Armstrong
drama
much
as
a
producer
casts
a
play
.
Well
,
that
gave
me
an
extremely
interesting
and
satisfactory
result
.
"
I
had
also
examined
in
my
own
mind
each
separate
person
's
evidence
with
some
curious
results
.
Take
first
the
evidence
of
Mr.
MacQueen
.
My
first
interview
with
him
was
entirely
satisfactory
.
But
in
my
second
he
made
rather
a
curious
remark
.
I
had
described
to
him
the
finding
of
a
note
mentioning
the
Armstrong
case
.
He
said
,
'
But
surely
--
'
and
then
paused
and
went
on
,
'
I
mean
--
that
was
rather
careless
of
the
old
man
.
'
"
Now
I
could
feel
that
that
was
not
what
he
had
started
out
to
say
.
Supposing
what
he
had
meant
to
say
was
,
'
But
surely
that
was
burnt
!
'
In
which
case
,
MacQueen
knew
of
the
note
and
of
its
destruction
--
in
other
words
,
he
was
either
the
murderer
or
an
accomplice
of
the
murderer
.
Very
good
.
"
Then
the
valet
.
He
said
his
master
was
in
the
habit
of
taking
a
sleeping
draught
when
travelling
by
train
.
That
might
be
true
,
but
would
Ratchett
have
taken
one
last
night
?
The
automatic
under
his
pillow
gave
the
lie
to
that
statement
.
Ratchett
intended
to
be
on
the
alert
last
night
.
Whatever
narcotic
was
administered
to
him
must
have
been
done
so
without
his
knowledge
.
By
whom
?
Obviously
by
MacQueen
or
the
valet
.
