Franklin says you don't think
the killer is a man. Why not? There is a layer of artifice
in the letters, as if a woman were writing to give
the impression of being a man, or vice versa. Betty would never
have gone off with another man. Never. So Miss Barnard went to a beach hut
and took her stockings off for another girl? I never thought Bexhill
quite so...racy. Christ! Betty wouldn't have gone off
with anyone! She loved me! We were in love! Mes enfants, if we are to discover the killer,
we must be honest about the nature and proclivities of the victims. Who the hell are you
calling a child? I'm not a child! I'm not some boy to be patronised!
Please, Mr Fraser, it's just
something that Mr Poirot says. "Mes enfants," he's known for it.
He means nothing insulting by it. Well, I am insulted!

There is a layer of artifice
in the letters,
00:00:09.092 --> 00:00:13.006
as if a woman were writing to give
the impression of being a man,
00:00:13.006 --> 00:00:17.068
or vice versa. Betty would never
have gone off with another man.
00:00:17.068 --> 00:00:19.024
Never.

I never thought Bexhill
quite so...racy.

Christ! Betty wouldn't have gone off
with anyone! She loved me!
00:00:29.088 --> 00:00:32.028
We were in love! Mes enfants,

Please, Mr Fraser, it's just
something that Mr Poirot says.
