But is there a relationship going on between John and Henrietta, a vibrant young artist and member of the Angkatell clan? The charming but slightly batty Lady Angkatell is doing her best to set up Henrietta with Edward Angkatell, to ensure a long line of Angkatells at the family estate. But in comparison to John Christow, Edward appears pale and insignificant and Henrietta, although fond of Edward since childhood, can only repeatedly turn down his marriage proposals. Midge watches on sadly. She has been in love with Edward for as long as he has been in love with Henrietta.

Poirot is enchanted by Katherine and is delighted when she agrees to his being her companion on the blue train. The following day, anyone who is anybody boards the blue train in Calais. When the train reaches its destination in Nice, Poirot hears the scream of Lady Tamplin. It appears Katherine has been murdered.
