<strong>Agatha</strong> Christie’s <strong>Poirot</strong> <strong>Episode</strong> <strong>Guide</strong><br />

Harlequin. Davidson leaps forward and curses <strong>Poirot</strong> but is quickly arrested by Japp. <strong>Poirot</strong> reveals<br />

that the strength with which the knife was plunged into Cronshaw meant that a man was<br />

responsible for the crime. The stiffness of the body meant that he had been dead for some time<br />

and not killed in the ten minute interval between being seen in the box and then being found<br />

dead on the floor, therefore the figure seen as Harlequin was one of the others. It could not have<br />

been Beltane as his costume was too elaborate to change quickly. Davidson killed Cronshaw earlier,<br />

hid the body in the curtained recess, then took Miss Courtenay home where he fed her an<br />

overdose of the drug. He did not stay there for a while as he claimed but returned immediately.<br />

His motive was that of self-preservation as it was he who was supplying Miss Courtenay with her<br />

drug and Cronshaw was on the point of finding out and exposing him.<br />
