:49:04
From scarlet fever.
:49:09
I am truly sorry.
:49:15
Let us talk of less
distressing matters.
:49:18
On the night of the murder,
after we left Belgrade,
:49:22
who were the last passengers
to retire to their compartment?
:49:24
Show me on the diagram.
:49:26
About 1:30, I remember seeing
the English colonel say good night
:49:30
to Mr. McQueen outside
number three and four.
:49:35
I saw him walk back into his
compartment, number 15,
:49:39
which he did not leave.
:49:41
And after that,
did no one reemerge?
:49:45
No, but there was one lady
who opened a door,
:49:48
I don't know which, and walked
:49:51
in the direction of the toilet
:49:53
at the far end of the corridor,
next to the dining car.
:49:55
- Did you see her return?
- No, monsieur.
:49:59
It is possible
I was answering a bell.
:50:02
That reminds me of a final point.
:50:04
Much earlier, soon after 12:30,
you and I both heard Mr. Ratchett
:50:07
ring his bell several times and then
apologize for having had a nightmare.
:50:20
Ce n'est rien.
C'était un cauchemar.
:50:23
Who rang the second bell while
you were answering Mr. Ratchett's?
:50:27
The Princess Dragomiroff, monsieur.
:50:30
She asked me to summon her maid.
:50:33
Thank you, Pierre.
That is all for the moment.
:50:45
He had the means to do it.
The passkey to Ratchett's room.
:50:49
- And a knife borrowed from the chef.
- With whom he was in league.
:50:52
Which he plunged repeatedly
and without motive into the body
:50:56
of his suitably astonished victim.
:50:57
Anyway, we know the door
was not only locked, but chained.
