agatha christie curtain poirot's last case

I do not believe that a man should take the law into his own hands. Am I justified in what I have done? I do not know. Take the nightmare away, and show how Norton, not her sister, was responsible for the death of her father. Tell to Mademoiselle Cole all that I have said, that you also might have done what her sister did, had there been no watchful Poirot to stop you. Hercule Poirot: Take my advice for the last time. That, mon ami, is my nature, and should have told to you the truth. My only weakness was to shoot him in the center of his forehead and not in his temple, but I could not bring myself to produce an effect so lopsided. I gave to you the clues and every chance to discover the truth, pointing you towards Iago, the original Stephen Norton. Hercule Poirot: I put the key into the pocket of his dressing gown and locked the door from the outside with a duplicate I had made, then returned to my room and began writing this. I had a pistol, which on two occasions I had placed ostentatiously on the dressing table of Norton when he was out, so that the maid would have seen it.

Hercule Poirot: I put the dressing gown on Norton, and lay him on his bed. I left the bathroom and returned into the room of Norton, locking the door behind me.

Hercule Poirot: I put on the dressing gown of Norton, tapped on your door, then went into his bathroom.

You will not have realized, Hastings, that recently I have taken to wearing a false moustache. With the greatest of difficulty, I put him in my wheelchair, then, when the coast was clear, I wheeled him to his room. The dose that would send Norton to sleep would have little effect on me. I take the sleeping tablets and have acquired a certain tolerance.
