1:36:00
Yes, a Miss Freebody.
1:36:03
Non, c'est impossible ça.
1:36:06
The princess, it seems,
is playing the psychological game

1:36:09
of word association.
1:36:12
Freebody is the name
of the junior partner

1:36:15
of one of London's most famous
and most opulent ladies' stores

1:36:19
of the sort perhaps patronized
by the princess herself.

1:36:23
The name of the senior partner
is Debenham.

1:36:27
Debenham and Freebody.
1:36:31
Was the princess covering
up for our Miss Debenham,

1:36:34
who taught shorthand
in Baghdad?

1:36:38
Can she tell us the name
of Mrs. Armstrong's younger sister?

1:36:43
Then I will tell you her
Christian and her maiden name.

1:36:47
When I asked the Princess
Dragomiroff if she could tell me

1:36:51
the maiden name of her
goddaughter, Mrs. Armstrong,

1:36:55
she could not possibly,
as a godmother,

1:36:57
plead ignorance of this.
She replied...

1:36:59
Greenwood.
1:37:03
Grunwald is the German
for Greenwood.

1:37:07
The princess's hesitation
persuades me

1:37:10
that Grunwald was
the true maiden name

1:37:13
of her goddaughter,
Mrs. Armstrong.

1:37:15
And that the Countess Andrenyi
1:37:18
is Mrs. Armstrong's
surviving younger sister.

1:37:26
Her Christian name is Helena.
1:37:29
Not Elena. No, no, no.
1:37:31
But Helena.
1:37:33
And where did she lose
her Christian name's initial H?

1:37:38
She lost it under a convenient grease
spot in her husband's passport.

1:37:43
And why was the grease
spot purposely applied?

1:37:47
Because she and her
husband were afraid

1:37:51
that this handkerchief,
bearing the initial H...

1:37:55
...might lead me to suspect her
of complicity in the murder.

1:37:58
I swear before God and on my
word of honor as a gentleman,
