Dick was back at the police station, rolling pastry and whistling as he worked.

“Did that other librarian get anything out of Hetty?” asked Hamish.

Dick blushed. “Not yet. She’s working on it. I saw her at lunchtime.”

Hamish explained why he had taken the spy equipment.

“What will you do if you find out Murdo’s got something on him?” asked Dick.

“Confront him with it.”

“He may have to resign. He’s pretty useless anyway.”

“Aye, but he’s our useless,” said Hamish. “A new broom might decide to sell this police station. Let’s see how it goes. What are you making?”

“I thought some beef Wellington would be grand for dinner.”

“I won’t be around for dinner. I’ve got to go to Strathbane.”

“It’s not for you. I invited that librarian for dinner.”

“Hetty?”

“No, the other one.”

“Aha!”

“Aha, nothing,” said Dick crossly. “You want information? This is ma way o’ getting it. A lot o’ people have called to see if you’re all right. The trouble is there’s that big dog fox that’s been haunting the village. Folk think a bullet went astray and they’re not going to own up. Oh, and Mr. Johnson phoned. He said there was a lassie at the hotel asking for ye.”

Hamish phoned the hotel manager. “It’s a tourist,” said Mr. Johnson. “Wants to know all about the area. I gave her maps and brochures but she said maybe the local policeman might have a more personal knowledge. She’s quite a looker.”

“What’s her name?”

“Katerina Drinsky.”

Hamish’s suspicions rose. A beautiful girl with a foreign name suddenly turns up and wants the local policeman.

“I’ll be right up,” he said.
