A rope with a noose all ready? And a chair to stand upon-a chair that could be kicked away. . . . That was what Hugo wanted. And of course that was the last line of the rhyme. "He went and hanged himself and then there were none. The little china figure fell from her
hand. It rolled unheeded and broke against the fender. Like an automaton Vera moved forward. This was the end-here where the cold wet hand (Cyril's hand, of course) had touched her throat. . . .” (Christie 233). Vera at this point is now psycho and has become suicidal and she believes killing herself is the only way her boyfriend who has now idea what is going on happy.
