:16:02
Deliver me from evil.
:16:03
Surely, Fräulein,
as one lady's maid to another,
:16:05
you conversed
as equals below stairs.
:16:05
Madame. Madame, lucky tooth
from St. Augustine of Hippo.
:16:07
Madame. Madame, lucky tooth
from St. Augustine of Hippo.
:16:08
Ja, ja, natürlich.
:16:08
- Lucky Buddha, madame?
- Madame, lucky Buddha.
:16:11
But ladies' maids were often called
only by their Christian names.
:16:15
And what was hers?
:16:15
Thank God, my St. Christopher.
:16:17
Paulette.
:16:17
St. Christopher.
:16:18
Hildegarde.
:16:20
You will be so kind
as to give me two aspirin.
:16:24
And you will ask
the dining-car attendant
:16:26
to bring me a glass of Russian tea,
:16:27
and then you may retire
to your own compartment.
:16:30
I will ring when I need you.
:16:32
Ja wohl, meine Prinzessin.
:16:39
Finally, there was the nurse.
:16:42
You see, my friend has been
urgently called to London
:16:42
I had no need
:16:45
on a matter of
international importance,
:16:46
and I have given him my
personal assurance
:16:47
of a nurse.
:16:48
that you will secure an accommodation
for him on the coach to Calais.
:16:49
That is an ordeal still to come.
:16:51
- But, Signor Bianchi, I have already...
- Hector...
:16:54
Excuse me, excuse me, gentlemen,
but Mr. Ratchett has reservations,
:16:55
You never smile,
Madame la Princesse.
:16:58
My doctor has advised
:16:58
and we'd be grateful if we could
board immediately.
:17:02
Mr. Ratchett.
:17:02
against it.
:17:03
Welcome to the number ten.
:17:06
Mr. Beddoes, the lower berth
in number one.
:17:09
Mr. McQueen, the lower berth
in number four.
:17:12
- The upper berth is...
- As arranged.
:17:16
Excuse me.
:17:18
Now, Pierre, it is cold.
:17:19
Now we can place Monsieur
Poirot in the number 16,
:17:21
which is always kept vacant.
:17:23
It is taken, signor, by a Mr. Hardman.
:17:23
There is no need for us
to fatigue you further.
:17:26
You have been of the utmost help.
:17:26
Then as a director of the line,
:17:28
I command you to place
Monsieur Poirot
:17:30
Go back to the Pullman
and tell Pierre
:17:30
in what we know to be the empty berth
above Mr. McQueen's number four.
:17:31
to summon Colonel Arbuthnott
in five minutes.
:17:33
- I want a word with the maid.
- Yes, Poirot.
:17:35
Monsieur.
:17:37
Fräulein Schmidt, I wonder
if I might have a word with you
:17:38
At least you can get two tips.
:17:40
about a small matter
in the privacy of your compartment?
:17:42
- I have to take these aspirins...
- We will leave the door ajar.
:17:50
I observed how moved you were
:17:52
at the mention
of Mrs. Armstrong's maid, Paulette.
:17:55
- Pardon, monsieur.
- Sorry.
:17:55
She had a sweet nature, mein Herr.
We were deep friends.
:17:58
Have you a photograph of her
in your possession?
:17:59
- Pardon.
- Excuse me, signor.
