Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Jane Grey worked as a hairdresser at Antoine's until she was fired. Why was she fired?

Answer: She yelled at a customer

 The customer was a woman who always brought her dog with her. Jane yelled at her because she was fed up with telling her story about the murder.
2. How did the dart get into Madame Giselle's neck?

Answer: By hand

 Poirot knew the blowpipe wasn't used because it was impossible for someone to have used it and not have been seen. Also it seemed as though it was meant to be found when it could have been easily disposed of.
3. Who was never involved with any blackmail?

Answer: Mr. Clancy

 Lady Horbury was being blackmailed by Giselle. Poirot sent Norman, in disguise, to pretend to blackmail Lady Horbury to see if she knew any information.
4. Madame Giselle's daughter, Ann, is Lady Horbury's maid under what name?

Answer: Madeline

 Ann was very aware of who her mother was despite her conversation with Poirot.
5. Which character does not have a child?

Answer: Norman Gale

 Madame Giselle's daughter is Ann/Madeline. Mr. Dupont's son is Jean. Madame Giselle's maid, Elise, had a daughter who is now dead.
6. Who does Venetia Kerr want to marry?

Answer: Lord Horbury

 Lord Horbury does not want to divorce his wife because he is morally against it.
7. The owner of the Parisian curio shop said that the person who bought the blowpipe was of what nationality?

Answer: American

 Norman Gale bought the blowpipe to fool everyone into thinking he could not have done the murder.
8. Besides Madame Giselle, who else dies in the novel?

Answer: Ann/Madeline

 Norman killed Ann on a train back to Britain. Poirot knew she was in danger, but he could not rescue her in time.
9. Who had the seat directly in front of Madame Giselle?

Answer: Mr. Ryder

 This gave Mr. Ryder the most opportune seat to kill Giselle.
10. Why did Mr. Clancy benefit from Giselle's death?
