Murder on the Orient Express CHAPTER 7 – extract – www.onyourmarks.org The Body Followed by Dr. Constantine, Poirot made his way to the compartment of the murdered man. “Brrr,” observed Poirot. Poirot examined the window carefully. “Possibly the open window was intended to suggest that somebody left the carriage this way. Criminals do not make mistakes of that kind nowadays (1).” “The body is not pretty,” he said. “Someone must have stood there and stabbed again and again. How many wounds are there exactly?” “I make it twelve. One or two slight (2). On the other hand, at least (3) three would be capable of causing death. Great strength (4) was needed for those blows (5). They could not have been delivered by a woman.” They looked round them : Ratchett’s day clothing...an ashtray (6) containing the butt of a cigar and charred (7) fragments of paper. Poirot’s eyes looked round. Nothing could escape their scrutiny. He picked up something from the floor. It was a small piece of cambric (8) with an embroidered initial – H. “A woman’s handkerchief,” said the doctor. “There is a woman concerned in this.” Poirot also found a pipe-cleaner on the floor and a gold watch saying a quarter past one. “One cannot complain (9) of having no clues in this case. There are clues here in abundance! How many women are there in this coach?” “Six, Monsieur. The old American lady (…………………), a Swedish lady (…………………..), the young English lady (…………………) , the Countess Andrenyi and Madame la Princesse Dragomiroff and her maid (…………………)”.
