Evidence of Princess Dragomiroff
Princess Dragomiroff states she retired early, suffered from rheumatism, and summoned her maid, Hildegarde Schmidt, at about 12:45 AM for massage and reading. She claims she heard nothing unusual. She admits knowing the Armstrong family—she was godmother to Sonia Armstrong—and expresses satisfaction at Ratchett's death. Poirot notes her strong will and frail physique.
