- That's about all we need, sir. | - Fine. Thanks.

Let me have | a lab report on that, will you?

All right, sir. Funny weapon to use.

Yes, a woman's weapon.

Or a man's wishing everyone | to think it was a woman's.

I wasn't precluding that possibility.

The lady feels well enough | to talk now.

Bring her in.

Miss Marple, I won't keep you.

It's all right, Inspector, | I'm entirely at your disposal.

You don't suspect her?

She was here. | The weapon was a hatpin.

Would anyone make themselves | so obvious a suspect?

There have been stupid murderers.

She's a timid woman, Inspector, | not a stupid one.

I think you ought | to know that this morning...

Not now, Miss Marple, please.

Oh, Miss Milchrest, | sit down, won't you.

Oh dear. I've never had anything | to do with the police.

There's nothing to worry about. | They're really very nice.

Thank you, Miss Marple.

You've been Mrs Lansquenet's | companion for many years?

Oh, yes, indeed.

I know it must be a great shock, | but there are things we need to know.

- Well, I'll do my best. | - I'm sure you will.

When did you see her last?

Just before I went to the library.

What time was that?

I caught the two o'clock bus.

She's been dead about two hours, | it's now 4:30pm, so about 2:30pm.

The coroner will be more exact.

Isn't it extremely difficult to | determine the exact time of death?

We'll do our best to be | as accurate as possible.

Before you left her, did she seem | nervous or upset in any way?

No, she was fine. | She was just getting ready to go out.

Miss Milchrest, have you any idea | at all who may have killed her?

Aside from your suspicions | of Miss Marple.

Anyone else? Anyone who hated her?

Oh no, she was kind to everyone. | She was very kind to me.

She said she would leave me | her amethyst brooch

and one of her own paintings | as a remembrance.

She painted very well, | don't you think?

Yes... yes, indeed.

Miss Milchrest, did she have | any visitors lately?

No, we lived very quietly.

Didn't any relatives call on her | after her return to this country?

Only her brother. Her late brother, | I mean. He called a month ago.

He hardly ever left his home. | Was there a special reason?

Well, yes. You see, they had been | estranged for a number of years.

After her husband died, she needed | help financially. She wrote to him.

- Were you present when he called? | - No.

Did you, by any chance, | overhear anything they said?

I'm not the sort of woman | who listens at keyholes!

I'm sorry. I just wondered if you | might have happened to overhear.

I didn't hear a thing!

Miss Marple, I am capable | of asking the questions.

So sorry.

Thank you, Miss Milchrest.

If you'll make a statement | to Sergeant Bacon, we'll talk later.
