: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.
:03:02
Pierre checked the bolt
after I rang my bell
:03:04
and told him there had been a man
hiding in my compartment.
:03:06
Yes, yes, we know all about that.
:03:09
Oh, no, you don't.
:03:11
I beg your pardon.
:03:12
You don't know what I found this
morning on top of the magazine
:03:15
I'd been reading to send myself asleep.
:03:17
What?
:03:29
Dio mio.
:03:30
This is a button from the tunic
of a wagon-lit conductor.
:03:35
Doctor, would you kindly inquire
whether Pierre has lost a tunic button?
:03:40
Gladly.
:03:48
Your handkerchief, Mrs. Hubbard.
:03:50
Oh, that's not mine.
I have mine right here.
:03:53
Oh, I thought the initial H...
:03:56
H for Harriet, H for Hubbard,
but it's still not mine.
