-"It's those little figures, sir. In the middle of the table.....There's only eight, sir! Only eight! It doesn't make sense, does it? Only eight...." page 70 paragraph 8(?) to end of page
I chose this because I found it interesting. It was interesting because someone realizes that when someone dies, a figure is taken from the table.-"Do you really think- what you said at breakfast?.....I don't know what to think." page 72 paragraph 4
I chose this because I thought it was interesting.
-"And he repats the facts Rogers has given him about the disappearance of the two little china figures.......Fits too damned well to be a coincidence! Anthony Marston dies of asphyxiation or choking last night after dinner, and Mother Rogers oversleeps herself with a vengeance."
pages 78-79 paragraph 4
I chose this because I thought it was important because people are starting to piece things together and relating it to the poem about the 10 little Indian boys.
-"Well I mean like this. After the racket last night this young Mr. Marston gets the wind up and poisens himself, and Roger, he gets the wind up too and bumps his wife! All according to U.N.O.'s plan."
page 80 paragraph 3
I chose this because I thought it was important that they are now thinking that the two people killed themselves because someone planned it.
-"Something about there being no time and that he didn't want to be disturbed." Dr. Armstrong frowned. He murmured: "I wonder now...."

I that at this point they're realizing that each Indian figure correspongs to a guest in the house. They have not yet realized that each person dies the way the corresponding Indian in the poem dies. Once they figure that out, I think they will be more cautious about the situations they are in, because they know how the next person is going to die.
You chose some very key passages from the reading. You should have included something about how Lombard always carries a revolver and how many people think he may be the murderer.
