1:57:03
"According to the statement
of one of the waiters there...
1:57:08
"Thwaite's companion asked for
the brandy to be served in large beakers.
1:57:13
"Apparently, as a result of a bet
between the two men...
1:57:18
"Thwaite filled one of these beakers
to the brim and drank it all.
1:57:23
"The other man was not present
when the actual tragedy happened...
1:57:27
"having left the place
a few minutes before.
1:57:30
"French police have not yet succeeded
in establishing his identity.
1:57:35
"According to the waiter, who has
a slight understanding of English...
1:57:40
"his name would appear to be
'Awlbeam' or 'Holebeam."'
1:57:50
I'm sorry to upset you, ma'am.
1:57:53
But do you or your husband
know of any friend of Mr. Thwaite's...
1:57:57
who would answer to such a name?
1:58:01
Perhaps Mrs. Aysgarth could enlighten us
about this corporation.
1:58:06
Yes, I believe I can.
1:58:09
My husband had planned
a real estate development with him.
1:58:14
Mr. Thwaite had gone to Paris
to dissolve the corporation.
1:58:19
He apparently died before he could do this.
1:58:23
Thank you, ma'am.
Any further questions, Benson?
1:58:27
None that I can think of.
1:58:29
- Thank you very much, Mrs. Aysgarth.
- Thank you.
1:58:43
I'm sorry.
1:58:55
When does Mr. Aysgarth
return from London?
1:58:58
I expect him this evening.
