** The plan was for Cath to give Schmidt the gold at Belgrade, so nothing was odd about Cath keeping it until then. The ending narration implies that Kronos told Cath to get off, and he's in no position to refuse as Kronos knows his true identity and could report him to the police if her refused. Though why Kronos would care when he already has the Firebird, I'm not sure.

And the "tea" he's giving him([[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datura_stramonium datura]]) is a strong poison with psychedelic and hallucinogenic properties.

*** Possibly as a form of encryption. The letters to Anna and from Schmidt would probably pass through messengers, and if those messengers can't read English, then they can't betray the sender. As for Tatiana's note, possibly she didn't want her Grandfather to be able to read it in case he saw it.

*** Did he have his train car at the end of the game? I don't remember it being there. I only mentioned an aeroplane because it was the only way you could possibly outrun an express train in 1914. An expensive and unlikely solution - but Kronos is an expensive and unlikely sort of man.

** By this point in time, the Black Hand had been effectively at war with the Habsburg Monarchy for at least a decade, and the Bosniak protectorate was in a state of siege while the rest of the border couldn't have been much more docile. The effective military occupation along the border coupled with the Austro-Hungarian chief of staff's obsession with destroying Serbia on *top* of the Hungarian-Slav problems in the Empire would probably have made it more convenient to station Austrians rather Hungarians. And as for [[spoiler: Anna, she could be faking it, or simplifying, assuming it is wrong.]]

** You could also easily ask It used to be a sign of prestige and upper-class sophistication to speak a language other than your native one. Presumably, Schmidt and Wolff are just trying to show off. (Alternatively, they're trying to keep their English skills sharp because they're the only German speakers besides Cath on the train and they don't speak French.) Another question is why various texts written or held by characters (Schmidt's letter, Anna's letter, and Tatiana's note) are written in English.

** They likely don't want to report the incident. George's immediate conversation with the conductor after Alexei dies is about how George has influence with the Austrians and will be able to smooth things over and keep it from becoming a blight on the service record of the Orient Express. (And enable the workers to all keep their jobs, likely.)
