He showed no concern to what he was accused of and brushed it off by saying "They must've been two children he ran over by accident." Tony Marston is also a reckless driver who speeds and is also wealthy and athletic. Wargrave suggested they leave in the morning while Marston wanted to stay he said..."We ought to stay and solve the case." then said "The whole things like a detective story. Positively thrilling." He shows no remorse doesn't even try to back the accusation up whatsoever. After he drunk some laced cyanide he passed away.  - Aysha Johnson]]> 2021-04-27 21:04:49 UTC https://padlet.com/cmcgraw11/3jwrwm7n7uvqz5q8/wish/1466463733 kaylab050 https://padlet.com/cmcgraw11/3jwrwm7n7uvqz5q8/wish/1466490790 I think Dr. Armstrong is guilty of causing a woman’s death by operating on her while he was drunk. They described Dr. Armstrong as a recovering drunk who impressed other people with his medical knowledge and skills. He could be guilty because he already killed someone by operating on her while being drunk so I feel like he’s only trying to recover so that problem won’t happen again. The quote states: “Lucky that he’d managed to pull himself together in time after that business ten - no, fifteen years ago. It had been a near thing, that! He’d been going to pieces. The shock had pulled him together. He’d cut out drink altogether.” Vera thinks Dr. Armstrong is a murderer because he has power to asser medical facts without anyone going against it and he’s the only one with medical knowledge. The quote states: “What risk was there? He’s the only person here with medical knowledge. He can swear the body’s been dead at least an hour and who’s to contradict him?” Also because Armstrong is getting accused his anxiety is getting worse and he keeps smoking cigarette after cigarette and it’s making him get even more paranoid than he already is. The quote states: “Armstrong was in a pitiable condition of nerves. He twitched and his hands shook. He lighted cigarette after cigarette and stubbed them out almost immediately. The forced inaction of their position seemed to gall him more than the others. Every now and then he broke out into a torrent of nervous speech; “We—we shouldn’t just sit here doing nothing! There must be something—surely, surely there is something that we can do?”  -Kayla Bailey]]> 2021-04-27 21:15:03 UTC https://padlet.com/cmcgraw11/3jwrwm7n7uvqz5q8/wish/1466490790 kimberlyh333 https://padlet.com/cmcgraw11/3jwrwm7n7uvqz5q8/wish/1466564116 I think Mrs. Brent is guilty. She did not show any sign of remorse to the accusations she was accused of. In this quote, " Miss Brent seemed comparatively unmoved. Emily Brent sat upright, her head held high." Mr. Marston had collapsed after hearing everyone being accused of murders she sat still and did not move, which is weird. Next, when everyone was explaining what had happened with their murders and she was next she did not say anything.  "Are you waiting for me to say something? I have nothing to say.” She was not trying to explain anything which shows no signs of remorse.  - Kimberly Hazelwood ]]> 2021-04-27 21:40:36 UTC https://padlet.com/cmcgraw11/3jwrwm7n7uvqz5q8/wish/1466564116 miyaz618 https://padlet.com/cmcgraw11/3jwrwm7n7uvqz5q8/wish/1466568655 I believe that Philip Lombard is guitly because in the book it states about Lombard "he was smiling to himself. A week - eh? He was going to enjoy that week "   (Christie 29). This sentence might foreshadow that Lombard is the quilty one since it says he was going to enjoy this week. Next, another reason why I believe Philip Lombard is guilty is because he was observing everyone at dinner as stated in the book " Lombard listened to the conversation. Once or twice he looked up quickly, and his eyes narrowed. Now and then his eyes played round the table, studying the others" (Christie 32). This statement shows how Lombard is guilty because instead of conversing with everyone he was silently observing them, which seems guilty. Finally, I believe Philip Lombard to be guilty because instead of showing remorse for the 21 East African tribesmen he killed, Lombard is proud of it as stated "Vera lifted her face from her hands. She said, staring at him: “You left them - to die?” Lombard answered: “I left them to die.” His amused eyes looked into her horrified ones" (Christie 51). This sentence shows how Lombard is proud of killing 21 people. -Miya Zheleznyak]]> 2021-04-27 21:42:47 UTC https://padlet.com/cmcgraw11/3jwrwm7n7uvqz5q8/wish/1466568655 tylerl066 https://padlet.com/cmcgraw11/3jwrwm7n7uvqz5q8/wish/1466995696 I think Philip Lombard is guilty. He was described as being cocky and completely unconcerned about his moral depravity. He was accused of leaving a group of natives to die when he was in the army. He does admit to doing this, but he feels nothing about it. “The faded blue eyes, shrewd in spite of their age, sized up Lombard. For a moment a judgment showed in them – had there been anyone to read it.” “Either I’m embellishing a story for shocking effect, or I’m the only one telling the truth in a room full of liars.” “And then split his own cranium in half. I would like to see you do that yourself Blore. It would take some practice.” - Tyler Lafleur]]> 2021-04-28 01:04:00 UTC https://padlet.com/cmcgraw11/3jwrwm7n7uvqz5q8/wish/1466995696 arlethg059 https://padlet.com/cmcgraw11/3jwrwm7n7uvqz5q8/wish/1467180168 I say that Philip Lombard is guilty.  Philip admits to his crime of the death of 21 men, members of an East African tribe when he was a soldier. But, even thought he admits to his crime he not remorseful or sorry at all. Lombard spoke. His eyes were amused. He said:
“About those natives -”
Marston said:
“What about them?”
Philip Lombard grinned.
“Story’s quite true! I left ‘em! Matter of self-preservation. We were lost in the bush. I and a
couple of other fellows took what food there was and cleared out.” ( 50). He even grins and admits to it. He also describe of being a cocky young man and not concerned for anyone but himself. "Vera lifted her face from her hands. She said, staring at him:
“You left them - to die?”
Lombard answered:
“I left them to die.”
His amused eyes looked into her horrified ones" (51). He talks cocky and so happy about what he's done  -- arleth

One of the reason I believe he is guilty is because in the novel it says "He was smiling to himself. A week eh?, he was going to enjoy that week" this shows that something might be happening in the future dealing with him. Another reason I think Philip is guilty is because in the novel it says "Lombard was the first to move. He leapt to the door and flung it open." this shows that his hiding something because why would he be the first one to move in a situation unless he's hiding something. The last reason why I think Philip is guilty is because in the novel it says "Vera lifted her face from her hands. She said, staring at him: "You left them to die?" and then he answered "I left them to die" this shows that he admits to what he did and has no remorse of doing it. -- Lizzy ]]> 2021-04-28 02:43:04 UTC https://padlet.com/cmcgraw11/3jwrwm7n7uvqz5q8/wish/1467269392 https://padlet.com/cmcgraw11/3jwrwm7n7uvqz5q8/wish/1471774405 I believe that Dr. Armstrong is guilty. Here are my three reason on why I believe Dr.Armstrong is guilty. Reason one, in chapter one it says "Lucky that he’d managed to pull himself together in time after that business ten - no, fifteen years ago. It had been a near thing, that! He’d been going to pieces. The shock had pulled him together. He’d cut out drink altogether. By Jove, it had been a near thing though..." This part of chapter one is talking about how Dr. Armstrong  quit drinking after the accident he caused.  Second reason, in chapter 4 there is this part where Dr. Armstrong is thinking to himself and it says “Drunk - that’s what it was - drunk... And I operated! Nerves all to pieces - hands shaking. I killed her, all right. Poor devil - elderly woman - simple job if I’d been sober. Lucky for me there’s loyalty in our profession. The Sister knew, of course - but she held her tongue, God, it gave me a shock! Pulled me up. But who could have known about it - after all these years?”  I feel like everyone should know not to do anything  while you are drunk that will bring harm to you and other. Just like when people say "don't drink and drive" because everyone knows that if you drive while you are drunk you will get in a car accident and something bad will happen. Third reason, in chapter  1 its says "Well, it had succeeded! He’d been lucky! Lucky and skillful of course". this sentence about Dr. Armstrong made me think. He is a doctor and somethings when they are doing surgery to a person. The person can die during the surgery and it can be blame on anything like losing blood. Kind of made me think that maybe Louise Mary Clees is not the only person Dr. Armstrong killed. -Carmen Gonzalez ]]> 2021-04-29 01:52:03 UTC https://padlet.com/cmcgraw11/3jwrwm7n7uvqz5q8/wish/1471774405 rihannam830 https://padlet.com/cmcgraw11/3jwrwm7n7uvqz5q8/wish/1473770236 I think Dr. Armstrong is guilty because  in the passage were in his thoughts he said " I killed her, all right. Poor devil - elderly woman - simple job if I’d been sober. Lucky for me there’s loyalty in our profession ". Another reason is from him being drunk, nervous, and all shakey.  It makes you believe he's guilty then what he was  denying.- RiHanna Murphy

Dr. Armstrong is very outspoken and is a  leader to the group, he takes control and when this occurs making people trust him.  A piece of evidence that helps prove him guilty is stated in  Chapter 3  where he begins to say " A disgraceful and heartless practical joke, I suppose".
