Dr. Armstrong has a nightmare where he’s standing at an operating table and realizes he has to kill the patient, who looks like Emily Brent, then Marston. Rogers wakes him up, panicked, because Mrs. Rogers won’t wake up. Armstrong checks and finds out she’s died in her sleep, possibly from too many sleeping pills. Rogers says she only took what Armstrong gave her. The next morning, Vera, Lombard, and Blore go to look for the boat, but it doesn’t show up. After breakfast, Armstrong tells everyone about Mrs. Rogers’s death. Emily Brent thinks she died from guilt after hearing the recorded accusation, while Blore suspects Rogers killed her to keep their secret safe. Later, Blore and Lombard agree the boat isn’t coming. Macarthur, acting strange, says no one will ever leave the island. Meanwhile, Rogers notices there are now only eight Indian figurines on the table.

In Chapter 7, Vera and Emily talk about guilt, and Emily says some mean things, blaming Mrs. Rogers for her own death. At the same time, Armstrong and Lombard talk in private and agree that one of the people in the house must be the killer. Everyone is getting more suspicious of each other.

chapter 7: emily and vera talk about emily’s past while philip and the doctor investigate the island, everyone becomes extremely paranoid about the killer.

The guests then notice that two figurines are now missing from the set of ten little soldiers on the dining table, symbolizing the deaths of Marston and Mrs. Rogers. The group begins to realize that the mysterious “Mr. Owen” is methodically carrying out a plan to kill them all, following the “Ten Little Soldiers” nursery rhyme.

In Chapter 7, the tension among the guests continues to rise. Vera Claythorne and Emily Brent take a walk together, during which Emily confesses that she once dismissed a servant, Beatrice Taylor, for becoming pregnant out of wedlock. This conversation reveals Emily’s rigid moral code and lack of empathy, unsettling Vera. Meanwhile, General Macarthur becomes more withdrawn, sitting by the sea and speaking of his guilt, stating that he is ready to die. Dr. Armstrong and Philip Lombard discuss the deaths of Anthony Marston and Mrs. Rogers. They conclude that neither could have been accidents or suicides, firmly believing that both were murders done by the mysterious “Mr. Owen.” Realizing that they are all in grave danger, they decide to search the island for any signs of their unknown host. They enlist Mr. Blore to assist them, and the three begin planning a systematic search of the island, including all possible hiding spots.

In Chapter 7, Blore, Lombard, and Armstrong search the island to see if someone is hiding, but they don’t find anyone. Meanwhile, Vera and Emily talk about the accusations. Emily says she doesn’t feel guilty, but Vera is very upset about hers. The group begins to think the murderer is one of them, which makes them even more scared and suspicious of each other.
