Evening at Belgrade

The train arrives at Belgrade. Poirot descends briefly but returns quickly due to the bitter cold. M. Bouc has moved to the Athens coach, giving Poirot his original compartment. Poirot walks through the corridor, noting the passengers settling in for the night. Mrs. Hubbard expresses her fear of Ratchett, and Poirot sees Ratchett's valet, Masterman, attending to him.
