Jane is an orphan; she was brought up in an orphanage. Poirot discusses the case with Jane and Norman.

Answer: £ 8,000

Norman disguises himself, very poorly, until Poirot assists him. Norman Gale - or Mr Robinson the blackmailer - manages to get a interview with Lady Horbury. Poirot offers to help Lady Horbury. She explains how she met Madame Giselle, when she had gambling debts. Poirot says Lady Horbury should grant her husband a discreet divorce - she would get an income.

Answer: "The Murder on the Orient Express"

Poirot and Inspector Japp discuss the case. Some of the suspects have done well since Madame Giselle died, while others, like Norman Gale, have not.

Answer: A wedding

Poirot says that there are three distinct clues in the case - the clue of the wasp, the clue in the passenger's luggage and the clue of the extra coffee spoon.

Answer: A broken fingernail

Madame Giselle's daughter, Anne Morisot comes to claim her heritage. She has documents to prove who she is. She is now Mrs Richards; she is married to an American or a Canadian. Poirot is reminded of someone when he meets Anne. He realises that Anne was Lady Horbury's maid, who travelled with her mistress on the "Prometheus". Anne is found on a boat train, dead.

She seems to have committed suicide by taking hydrocyanic acid.

Answer: Norman Gale

He wanted to marry Anne so she would get her mother's money. He disguised himself as an airline steward on the "Prometheus" - wearing his dentist coat - so he could get near Madame Giselle and kill her. Poirot plans to arrange a marraige in the near future - that of Lord Horbury and the Honourable Venita Kerr. He also hopes Jane Grey will marry Jean Dupont, the archaeologist.
