- Have... have testified that... that... that Miguel Ostos beat Maria Gambrelli frequently.

- And, now, finally comes this sworn statement of Monsieur and Madame Ballon, as well as all the members of the staff, each of them with perfect alibis.

- Now then, Hercule. What is the inescapable conclusion?

- Maria Gambrelli killed the chauffeur.

- What? You idiot! Impossible. She's protecting someone.

- How do you know that?

- Instinct!

- But the facts...

- You are forgetting the most important fact: motive.

- He beat her.

- He was Spanish.

- He tore her dress off.

- Oh, don't be ridiculous! Would you kill somebody who tore your dress off?

- No, I suppose not.

- Of course not.

- No, no. There is no doubt in my mind whatsoever, Hercule.

- Maria Gambrelli is most definitely protecting somebody.
