You
know
all
about
it
,
M.
Poirot
.
You
're
a
very
wonderful
man
.
But
even
you
ca
n't
quite
imagine
what
it
was
like
--
that
awful
day
in
New
York
.
I
was
just
crazy
with
grief
--
so
were
the
servants
--
and
Colonel
Arbuthnot
was
there
,
too
.
He
was
John
Armstrong
's
best
friend
.
"
"
He
saved
my
life
in
the
war
,
"
said
Arbuthnot
.
"
We
decided
then
and
there
--
perhaps
we
were
mad
--
I
do
n't
know
--
that
the
sentence
of
death
that
Cassetti
had
escaped
had
got
to
be
carried
out
.
There
were
twelve
of
us
--
or
rather
eleven
--
Susanne
's
father
was
over
in
France
,
of
course
.
First
we
thought
we
'd
draw
lots
as
to
who
should
do
it
,
but
in
the
end
we
decided
on
this
way
.
It
was
the
chauffeur
,
Antonio
,
who
suggested
it
.
Mary
worked
out
all
the
details
later
with
Hector
MacQueen
.
He
'd
always
adored
Sonia
--
my
daughter
--
and
it
was
he
who
explained
to
us
exactly
how
Cassetti
's
money
had
managed
to
get
him
off
.

It
took
a
long
time
to
perfect
our
plan
.
We
had
first
to
track
Ratchett
down
.
Hardman
managed
that
in
the
end
.
Then
we
had
to
try
to
get
Masterman
and
Hector
into
his
employment
--
or
at
any
rate
one
of
them
.
Well
,
we
managed
that
.
Then
we
had
a
consultation
with
Susanne
's
father
.
Colonel
Arbuthnot
was
very
keen
on
having
twelve
of
us
.
He
seemed
to
think
it
made
it
more
in
order
.
He
did
n't
like
the
stabbing
idea
much
,
but
he
agreed
that
it
did
solve
most
of
our
difficulties
.
Well
,
Susanne
's
father
was
willing
.
Susanne
was
his
only
child
.
We
knew
from
Hector
that
Ratchett
would
be
coming
back
from
the
East
sooner
or
later
by
the
Orient
Express
.
With
Pierre
Michel
actually
working
on
that
train
,
the
chance
was
too
good
to
be
missed
.
Besides
,
it
would
be
a
good
way
of
not
incriminating
any
outsiders
.
"
My
daughter
's
husband
had
to
know
,
of
course
,
and
he
insisted
on
coming
on
the
train
with
her
.
Hector
wangled
it
so
that
Ratchett
selected
the
right
day
for
travelling
when
Michel
would
be
on
duty
.
We
meant
to
engage
every
carriage
in
the
Stamboul-Calais
coach
,
but
unfortunately
there
was
one
carriage
we
could
n't
get
.
It
was
reserved
long
beforehand
for
a
director
of
the
company
.
Mr.
Harris
,
of
course
,
was
a
myth
.
But
it
would
have
been
awkward
to
have
any
stranger
in
Hector
's
compartment
.
And
then
,
at
the
last
minute
,
you
came
...
.
"
She
stopped
.

"
Well
,
"
she
said
.
"
You
know
everything
now
,
M.
Poirot
.
What
are
you
going
to
do
about
it
?
If
it
must
all
come
out
,
ca
n't
you
lay
the
blame
upon
me
and
me
only
?
I
would
have
stabbed
that
man
twelve
times
willingly
.
It
was
n't
only
that
he
was
responsible
for
my
daughter
's
death
and
her
child
's
,
and
that
of
the
other
child
who
might
have
been
alive
and
happy
now
.
It
was
more
than
that
.
There
had
been
other
children
before
Daisy
--
there
might
be
others
in
the
future
Society
had
condemned
him
;
we
were
only
carrying
out
the
sentence
.
But
it
's
unnecessary
to
bring
all
these
others
into
it
.
All
these
good
faithful
souls
--
and
poor
Michel
--
and
Mary
and
Colonel
Arbuthnot
--
they
love
each
other
...
.
"
Her
voice
was
wonderful
echoing
through
the
crowded
space
--
that
deep
,
emotional
,
heart-stirring
voice
that
had
thrilled
many
a
New
York
audience
.
