Me
,
then
.
Her
Christian
name
on
her
passport
is
disfigured
by
a
blob
of
grease
.
Just
an
accident
,
anyone
would
say
.
But
consider
that
Christian
name
.
Elena
.
Suppose
that
,
instead
of
Elena
,
it
were
Helena
.
That
capital
H
could
be
turned
into
a
capital
E
and
then
run
over
the
small
e
next
to
it
quite
easily
--
and
then
a
spot
of
grease
dropped
to
cover
up
the
alteration
.
"
"
Helena
,
"
cried
M.
Bouc
.
"
It
is
an
idea
,
that
.
"
"
Certainly
it
is
an
idea
!
I
look
about
for
any
confirmation
,
however
slight
,
of
my
idea
--
and
I
find
it
.
One
of
the
luggage
labels
on
the
Countess
's
baggage
is
slightly
damp
.
It
is
one
that
happens
to
run
over
the
first
initial
on
top
of
the
case
.
That
label
has
been
soaked
off
and
put
on
again
in
a
different
place
.

You
begin
to
convince
me
,
"
said
M.
Bouc
,
"
But
the
Countess
Andrenyi
--
surely
--
"
"
Ah
,
now
,
mon
vieux
,
you
must
turn
yourself
round
and
approach
an
entirely
different
angle
of
the
case
.
How
was
this
murder
intended
to
appear
to
everybody
?
Do
not
forget
that
the
snow
has
upset
all
the
murderer
's
original
plan
.
Let
us
imagine
,
for
a
little
minute
,
that
there
is
no
snow
,
that
the
train
proceeded
on
its
normal
course
.
What
,
then
,
would
have
happened
?
"
The
murder
,
let
us
say
,
would
still
have
been
discovered
in
all
probability
at
the
Italian
frontier
early
this
morning
.
Much
of
the
same
evidence
would
have
been
given
to
the
Italian
police
.
The
threatening
letters
would
have
been
produced
by
M.
MacQueen
,
M.
Hardman
would
have
told
his
story
,
Mrs.
Hubbard
would
have
been
eager
to
tell
how
a
man
passed
through
her
compartment
,
the
button
would
have
been
found
.
I
imagine
that
two
things
only
would
have
been
different
.
The
man
would
have
passed
through
Mrs.
Hubbard
's
compartment
just
before
one
o'clock
--
and
the
Wagon
Lit
uniform
would
have
been
found
cast
off
in
one
of
the
toilets
.

You
mean
?
"
"
I
mean
that
the
murder
was
planned
to
look
like
an
outside
job
.
The
assassin
would
have
been
presumed
to
have
left
the
train
at
Brod
,
where
the
train
is
timed
to
arrive
at
00:58
.
Somebody
would
probably
have
passed
a
strange
Wagon
Lit
conductor
in
the
corridor
.
The
uniform
would
be
left
in
a
conspicuous
place
so
as
to
show
clearly
just
how
the
trick
had
been
played
.
No
suspicion
would
have
been
attached
to
the
passengers
.
That
,
my
friends
,
was
how
the
affair
was
intended
to
appear
to
the
outside
world
.
"
But
the
accident
to
the
train
changes
everything
.
Doubtless
we
have
here
the
reason
why
the
man
remained
in
the
compartment
with
his
victim
so
long
.
He
was
waiting
for
the
train
to
go
on
.
But
at
last
he
realized
that
the
train
was
not
going
on
.
Different
plans
would
have
to
be
made
.
The
murderer
would
now
be
known
to
be
still
on
the
train
.
