- 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.
