Mrs. Hubbard's Alarm

Poirot hears Mrs. Hubbard repeatedly ringing for the conductor, insisting a man was in her compartment. The conductor, Pierre Michel, tries to calm her, but she is adamant. Poirot orders mineral water and learns from Michel that the train has stopped in a snowdrift between Vincovci and Brod. The snowbound situation traps everyone on board.
