whether this handkerchief is yours?
1:07:05
Since it contains neither of my initials,
no point whatsoever, monsieur.
1:07:09
And even less point in asking
the color of your dressing gown?
1:07:14
None, unless monsieur takes
a professional interest in apricot silk?
1:07:19
I take a professional interest
in crime, madame.
1:07:22
Have you and your husband
ever visited America together?
1:07:25
No. We first met in Wiesbaden...
1:07:28
...much later.
- Later than what?
1:07:30
Later than the days of my youth,
when I was on post in Washington.
1:07:34
You lived in Washington?
1:07:35
Oh, what diplomat of promise has not?
1:07:39
You did not sleep well last night?
1:07:42
On the contrary, apart from one of
Mrs. Hubbard's customary outbursts,
1:07:46
I slept very soundly.
1:07:48
- And you, madame?
- Oh, even more soundly.
1:07:51
We, neither of us, woke till after 8.
1:07:54
As is my custom on night trains,
I took Trional.
1:07:57
Diethyl-sulphone-dimethyl-methane.
1:07:59
One dilutes the white crystals
with water, it is a strong hypnotic.
1:08:03
He makes it sound like a poison.
1:08:05
As with most sleeping drafts,
if taken in sufficient quantities,
1:08:08
it is a poison.
1:08:10
- You are not accusing...
- You are not accused,
1:08:13
you are excused.
1:08:15
Thank you both for your help
and cooperation.
