Summary

Summary:
Following the deaths of Marston and Mrs. Rogers, the remaining guests came to the conclusion that two suicides immediately following one another is too unlikely, and that they must have been murdered. Everyone discussed their accusations and most people denied that they did anything, and tried to explain their side of the story. Rogers noticed that each time someone dies, an Indian figure disappears from the table. Lombard, Blore, and Armstrong decided to search the island for the "madman" that was committing the murders. We leave off with the men talking about how suspicious it is that Lombard carries a revolver with him at all times.

Key Points:
1. After a guest dies, an Indian figure disappears from the table. When they arried there were 10, and after the death of two of the guests, there are only eight figures.
2. The guests ruled out suicide as an option of how Mrs. Rogers and Marston died.

I believe that brianna did a good job on the summary. I also find that the key point of indian figures dissapearing from the table after each "suicide" is a great factor for the books surprising mystique. Now that the guests have ruled out suicide i believe that investigations will become very intense. Good job pointing out those topics.
