William Shakespeare, King Henry IV Part 2 THE title of Agatha Christie’s 1957 novel 4.50 from Paddington (entitled What Mrs McGillicuddy Saw in the United States) refers to a journey taken by Mrs McGillicuddy after a shopping trip to London. During the journey two trains travel alongside each other, and for a brief moment they move at the same speed. Mrs McGillicuddy looks through the window to the carriage opposite, and sees a woman being strangled. She believes she has witnessed a murder, and... goes on to tell the station-master and the police. With no missing person being reported and no corpse discovered, no one believes the old lady. Only Miss Marple is convinced that her friend has witnessed a crime, and she resolves to investigate further.
The first task is to find the body. A curve in the train track a little further along the route encloses a large estate, Rutherford Hall, the residence of eccentric biscuit baron Luther Crackenthorpe. The train embankment slopes down into the grounds, providing a convenient spot for the disposal of a body from a moving train.
