What does Vera say in chapter 11?
Vera laughs wildly, stating, Six little soldier boys playing with a hive. And that’s why I’m asking- isn’t it funny?… isn’t it damned funny…?”
What does Vera say in chapter 14?
“No, no, she mustn’t think of Hugo. It hurt too much! Why had she suddenly felt that Hugo was in the room with her?”
What does Vera say in the earlier chapters about her murder?
“I couldn’t get there in time.. It was awful… but it wasn’t my fault,”
What does Lombard say in after Mrs. Rogers death?
Ch.7: “We’d better rope in Blore to help us. He’ll be a good man in a pinch. Better not tell the women. As for the others, the General’s ga-ga, I think, and old Wargrave’s forte is masterly inactivity. The three of us can attend to this job.”
What does Blore say about Lombard?
Ch.8: “There are habits and habits! Mr. Lombard takes a revolver to out of the way places, right enough, and a primus and a sleeping bag and a supply of bag powder no doubt! It’s only in books people carry revolvers around as a matter of course.”
What does Blore accuse Armstrong of doing?
Ch.9: He accuses him of purposefully giving Mrs. Rogers an overdose on a “harmless” sedative he gave her before her death.
Blore: “Look here, doctor, you did give her some dope, you know.” Armstrong stared at him. “Dope? What do you mean?” “Last night. You said yourself you’d given her something to sleep.” “Oh that, yes. A harmless sedative.” “What was it exactly?” “I gave her a mild dose of trional. A perfectly harmless preparation.” “I did nothing of the sort. The suggestion is ridiculous. Or do you suggest that I gave her an overdose on purpose?”
What does Vera say about Armstrong to Lombard?
Ch.10: “Oh no! Two of the deaths have been poison. That rather points to a doctor. And then you can’t get over the fact that the only thing we are absolutely certain Mrs. Rogers had was the sleeping draught that HE gave her.”
What does Emily Brent say about Beatrice Taylor while talking to Vera?
Ch.7: “Of course, all that was the sheerest hypocrisy! She was a loose girl with no morals. Disgusting! Naturally I did not keep her an hour under my roof. No one shall ever say that I condoned immortality.”
She doesn’t seem to feel any remorse or guilt about her suicide.
What does Emily Brent describe Mrs. Rogers’ death as?
Ch.6: “An act of God”
How does Marston feel about the death of John and Lucy Combes?
Ch.4: “Well, anyway it wasn’t my fault. Just an accident!”
He feels no remorse/guilt
Does marston agree or disagree with Wargrave’s statement about leaving the next day by boat
ch.4: He disagrees, saying, “A bit unsporting, what? Ought to ferret out the mystery before we go. Whole thing’s like a detective story. Positively thrilling.”
What happens with blore, lombard and armstrong?
Ch.8: Blore is invited into Lombard and Armstrong’s search party group, after they examine who would be the best fit to help them with finding U.N. Owen, who they think is the killer that is hiding on the island.
“blore was easily roped in. He expressed immediate agreement with their arguments.”
What does Blore say about Lombard to Armstrong?
Ch 8: He questions why Lombard carries a revolver around with him, stating, “I wouldn’t trust him a yard. Did you happen to bring a revolver along with you, Doctor?” Armstrong: “Me? Good Lord, no. Why should I?” “Why did Mr. Lombard?”
What does Macarthur talk about with Vera?
Ch.8: He talks about how he did actually kill Arthur Richmond, and that he is waiting for the end and feels extreme guilt for it. - ”The end. But I think you know that, don’t you? It’s true, isn’t it? We’re all waiting for the end” and “General Macarther looked out to sea again. He seemed unconscious of Vera’s presence behind him. He said very gently and softly: “Leslie…?”
