He was nearing his retirement and appeared to be even more elderly than he was.
2. What piece of jewelry did Elvira steal?

Answer: A diamond and sapphire bracelet

Elvira entered the jewelry shop of Messrs Bollard and Whitley under the pretext of selecting a Christmas present. According to their plan, Bridget managed to cause a commotion outside the shop at the same time, giving Elvira enough time to steal the bracelet.
3. Where did Elvira go with the money she obtained by pawning the jewelry?

Answer: Ireland

She went to Ireland to check if the marriage between Bess Sedgwick and Michael Gorman had been legal. Since it was, it rendered her subsequent marriages illegal.
4. Where was Canon Pennyfather supposed to attend a conference?

Answer: Lucerne

The Canon was supposed to leave for Lucerne on Wednesday the 18th. However he forgetfully landed up at the air terminal at Kensington on the 19th and as such missed the conference.
5. Which movie did Canon Pennyfather watch the night he disappeared?

Answer: Walls of Jericho

The Canon assumed it was a biblical movie. However the title turned out to be a symbolical way of referring to the main lead's marriage vows.
6. Whom did Miss Marple see at Battersea Park?

Answer: Elvira and Ladislaus

Miss Marple had earlier seen Bess and Ladislaus at the Army & Navy Stores.
7. What was the number of Ladislaus Malinowski's car?

Answer: FAN 2266

Miss Marple remembered the number since it reminded her of her cousin Fanny Godfrey.

Wilhelm was a Swiss national who operated solely on the Continent. His brother, Robert, lived in London and was a diamond merchant.
9. How did Bess die?

Answer: She died in a car crash.

She crashed into the park railings while driving at a speed of about ninety miles an hour. She had claimed that she had shot Michael Gorman and made sure that Miss Marple was a witness to her confession.
10. Who shot Michael Gorman?

Answer: Elvira Blake

Elvira realized that her mother had not divorced Michael and had thus committed bigamy when she married Coniston. She was afraid that this meant she wouldn't inherit his legacy. She, therefore, shot Gorman before he told anyone about his marriage to Bess.
