Ant asked this question about The Witness for the Prosecution and Other Stories (Hercule Poirot, #28):
I'm very confused about the story, SOS. so which one is Mr. Dinsmead's real daughter? and which the foundling? I understood that Magdalen is the foundling and Charlotte is the real daughter, but in the end Mortimer seems to say that both are his real daughters? What is the significance of the figurine of Mrs. Dinsmead? And, why is it necessary to kill one daughter in order to claim inheritance?
