This skill made Lucy very popular, and it was thanks to him that Miss Marple met her - once, Lucy was invited to housekeeping with Miss Marple, who had recovered from her illness. Lucy Aylesbarrow is a young woman with a sharp mind and a variety of abilities, in particular, the ability to cope with any household problems unusually easily and quickly. Then Miss Marple turns to Lucy Islesbarrow for help. She has an investigation plan, but she feels too old for such a job. Miss Marple checks maps and an address book. She believes that the corpse could be pushed from the train right here. Miss Marple repeats her friend’s route and makes sure that on one section of the track where the train slows down before turning, the railroad tracks are laid along a rather high embankment. But in the newspapers there is no mention of the corpse in the train, and Sergeant Cornish’s request is answered in the negative. Miss Marple suggests that the perpetrator could either leave the corpse in the carriage and run, or throw it out of the train window. The sergeant, who had the chance to verify the intelligence and insight of Miss Marple, does not doubt the veracity of the story of two elderly ladies. McGillicadi, Miss Marple discusses in detail with her the details of what she saw and decides to tell the local police sergeant Frank Cornish about the incident. Mary's Mead, to visit Miss Jane Marple, her longtime friend.Īfter hearing the story of Mrs. She leaves in Milchester, she is already waiting for the car that brings her to St. McGillicadi talks about what she saw the train controller, then he writes a short letter to the head of the station and asks the porter to transfer the letter, adding a shilling to the request. A nearby train speeds up and disappears in the dark. As if mesmerized, an elderly lady watches the scene of the murder in all terrible details. McGillicadi saw the woman: this is a blonde in a fur coat. In a brightly lit compartment, a man (he is visible to her from the back) is strangling a woman.
McGillicadi sees a curtain rise sharply in one of the windows of a parallel train. Then, for some time, on the next rails in the same direction as the train in which Mrs. Elspeth McGillicadi, a middle-aged woman, tired of Christmas shopping in London, takes the train at Paddington Station, flips through a magazine and falls asleep.
