Now, Pierre, it is cold. Now, we can place Monsieur Poirot in the number 16, which is always kept vacant.
Pierre
It is taken, Signor, by a Mr. Hardman.
Bianchi
Then as a director of the line, I command you to place Monsieur Poirot in what we know to be the empty berth above Mr. McQueen's number 4. [Pierre nods; Bianchi gestures to Poirot] Monsieur. [Poirot boards the train, followed by Bianchi, who gives Pierre a look] At least you can get two tips.
