Emile Poirot: “Miss Debenham, you planned Ratchett’s murder! And then you sent for the countess to witness it. If she saw him dead, the Helena you knew might return. You waited for your roommate to sleep, but she did not. You drugged her. But the barbital only gave her a headache. She begged for an aspirin...when the train stopped, when the conductor was on the station...when the coast was clear at last...when you were allowed to enter Ratchett’s compartment, unseen. You loved Daisy Armstrong. You killed Cassetti!” |
