Interesting to see what air travel was like in 1935. Some seats faced one another (like in a train), and they served a three-course meal (one entrée option was tongue).

A countess asks the steward to get her maid from the other cabin so that the maid can get the countess's makeup bag which is just a few feet from the countess. 🤣

More Poirot wisdom/suspense building:

"In every case of a criminal nature one comes across the same phenomena when questioning witnesses. Everyone keeps something back. Sometimes--often indeed--it is something quite harmless, but--I say it again--there is alawys something. I am Herculae Poirot, and I know" (99).

Agatha really knows how to build suspense and curiosity, like when Poirot hints that he might know who the murderer is, but he isn't ready to explain it yet :)

"It is a theory--a theory only. I hoped to find a certian object on that list. Eh bien, I have found it. It is there; but it seems to point in the wrong direction. The right clue on the wrong person. That means there is much work to be done" (84).
