Hamish was seated in the bar of the Tommel Castle Hotel, looking gloomily at Priscilla.

“Why Australia?” he asked.

“I’m a computer programmer, Hamish,” said Priscilla patiently. “The firm I was contracted to outsourced all the work to India and it’s happening all over London. I’ve got a chance of this job in Sydney. I love Sydney.”

“It’s awfy far away,” said Hamish miserably. “The hotel’s doing great. It’s not as if you have to work.”

“Hamish, ever since Daddy lost all his money and we had to turn our home into this hotel, I’ve liked to make my own money just in case Daddy decides to play the stock market again. I’m lucky to get such a good job in the middle of a recession. Didn’t you go to the dance with your policewoman?”

“I was bullied into it by Mrs. Wellington. I wish Josie McSween would just pack up and go back to Strathbane.”

“Why? She seems a nice enough girl.”

“There’s something clingy about her and she’s a rotten officer. She should never ha’ joined the police force.”

“So where are you in the case?”

“Nowhere—except for an idea of Angela’s. I’ve been checking up on all the men in the case. She suggests it might have been some woman.”

“I can see the wisdom of that. A jealous woman will go to any lengths.”

“Could you put me up for the night, Priscilla? I’ve a feeling if I go back home, Josie will be waiting for me.”

“I’ll find you something.”
