Connector
In this part of the book(pgs. 94-96), Mr. Blore suggests that the doctor may have overdosed Mrs. Rogers, and he questions Lombard about why he brought a gun to this "party." They argued for a while, but then came to the conclusion that they are on the same team against Mr. Owen, and that they should stop accusing one another. Situations like this, where a group has some problems with each other but need to work them out, happen very often in the real world. For example, no family is perfect, but most of them can put their problems with each other aside, and focus on the similarities they have. It's the same deal with sports teams. A player might not exactly like another person on his team, but they need to work togerther to accomplish a common goal, just like Mr. Blore, Dr. Armstrong, and Lombard. You also need to work together in a company, regardless of your problems, because if you don't, you won't have nearly as much success. This is just one way that this section of And Then There Were None relates to the real world.

I think it's suspicious that Lombard brought a gun, especially if it was supposed to be a "party," and I probably wouldn't trust him, but try to befriend him so he would protect me, as I am guessing some of the guest will. This type of deception also occurs in real life.
The fact that Mr.Lombard was invited on a different agenda of everyone else o nthe island. On top of all of that he brought a revolver along with himself "just in-case" is a little bit suspicous. This is like real life how everything may not be as it seems.
It's definitally not normal for someone to bring a gun to a party. I wouldnt trust him because but i would try to get on his good side so he would be able to protect me if anything happend. This situation occurs in real life all the time.
