- They all sit in the drawing room as if waiting for something to happen.
- When Vera goes to make tea, everyone watches her to make sure that she hasn’t slipped anything in the tea.
- The lights go out and they have to take out candles in order to see.
- Eventually Vera decides that she is going to her room for bed, even though it’s just past six p.m.
- When she goes up, she smells something strange in her room—it smells like the ocean.
- Then she feels something wet and cold on her throat and starts screaming wildly.
- Everyone rushes upstairs to check on her and they offer her brandy. She looks up at realizes that it wasn’t a cold hand at her throat after all—it was just a long ribbon of seaweed.
- Vera refuses to drink the brandy and Lombard goes to get her a brand new bottle that’s unopened.
- Then they realize that Justice Wargrave isn’t with them… how strange.
- They go downstairs to look for him and find his dead body. He’s sitting in a chair with scarlet robes made from the missing bathrobe curtains, and he has a wig on his head. He’s been shot clear through the forehead. Well, guess the revolver showed up!
