Mary Debenham : You said of the woman in Istanbul that she knew the rules of her culture and knew what breaking them would mean. So did Cassetti.
Hercule Poirot : [harshly] And so do you!
Mary Debenham : When you've been denied justice... you are incomplete. It feels that God has abandoned you in a stark place. I asked God... I think we all did... what we should do, and he said do what is right. And I thought if I did, it would make me complete again.
Hercule Poirot : [coldly] And are you?
Mary Debenham : [long pause, then] But I did what was right.
