Murder on Orient Express, Part 3

At the luncheon-car, Poirot sat down at the empty place opposite Bouc. Poirot predicted that these passengers here were linked together by death. Then, he ran his eye thoughtfully round the dining-car. He began to study these passengers.
After lunch, people left the restaurant in succession. The restaurant car was empty save for Poirot and Ratchett. Ratchett conversed with Poirot on the pretext of a light. Ratchett wanted Poirot to protect him, because he has been threatened. No matter how much money he gave, Poirot would never accept this job and left the restaurant at once.

Corrections

Murder on the Orient Express, Part 3

"Orient Express" is a proper noun so we often use the article, "the," before it. This is how the book title is translated into English.

AtIn the luncheon-car, Poirot sat down atin the empty placeseat opposite Bouc.

Poirot predicted that these passengers here were linked together by death.

or

Poirot predicted that the passengers here were linked together by death.

Then, he ran his eyes thoughtfully round the dining-car.

He began to study these passengers.

After lunch, people left the restaurant in succession.

"In succession" sounds a little strange in this context to me.

The restaurant car was empty save for Poirot and Ratchett.

Ratchett conversed with Poirot on the pretext of a light.

Ratchett wanted Poirot to protect him, because he hasd been threatened.

Ratchett struck up a conversedation with Poirot onunder the pretext of asking for a light.

This sentence sounds a bit awkward, so I've made some corrections. I think by 'on the pretext of a light' you mean asking for a lighter?
