:01:01
Oh, please don't get up, sir.
Will there be anything else?
:01:03
No, that is all.
:01:08
He did it. The butler did it.
:01:11
He had constant access
to Ratchett.
:01:13
He himself could have
poisoned the valerian
:01:15
before bringing it to his master.
:01:17
As for the psychological,
:01:19
well, who knows what boils
and bubbles beneath that stiff shirt
:01:22
to which his profession
has called him.
:01:24
Did he not read Love's Captive?
:01:27
At a time when you suggest he should
have been stabbing Mr. Ratchett?
:01:52
I fear that help is at hand.
:01:54
Even if it is only a working party
with picks and shovels,
:01:57
we must make haste to complete
this inquiry before we reach Brod.
:02:01
If it is an engine with a snowplow,
our troubles will really begin.
:02:04
- Who's next?
- Mrs. Hubbard.
:02:06
Oh, my God.
:02:09
The whistle means
that help is near, madame.
:02:11
- And high time too.
- Time is what counts, Mrs. Hubbard,
:02:13
if we are to complete this inquiry
before reaching Brod.
:02:16
I will therefore make my questions
:02:17
as brief as I hope you will make
your answers,
:02:19
and the more often
you can confine yourself
:02:20
to a simple yes or no, the better.
:02:22
Well, don't waste time
yammering, begin.
:02:23
Your full name
is Harriet Belinda Hubbard?
:02:26
Yes. I was called Harriet after my...
:02:27
By now, Mr. McQueen
has doubtless informed you
:02:30
- of the true identity of Mr. Ratchett?
- Yes, that low-down, stinking...
:02:33
Were you acquainted
with the Armstrongs?
:02:35
No, of course not. They were
a very social family. Anyway...
:02:37
Mrs. Hubbard, I overhead the whole
of your conversation with Pierre
:02:40
about there being a man
in your room soon after 1:00
:02:43
on the night of the murder.
Tell me one thing more.
:02:45
Wasn't the door locked
on your side of the door
:02:48
that communicated with Mr. Ratchett's
compartment when you went to bed?
:02:50
Yes, so far as I know.
My second husband...
:02:52
What do you mean,
as far as you know?
:02:55
Could you not see
the bolt from the bed?
:02:57
- No.
- Why?
:02:59
It was masked by my makeup bag
on the hook above.
