“I see. But if you do find him, could you… you know, tell him I’m here. That I’d like to help if I could.”

“We can do that, Mr. Shaw. With pleasure. I hope he knows what a good friend you are.”

Tom nodded. “Maybe. But maybe if I was such a good friend, I’d’ve known more about him. Been able to help him if he was in trouble. Maybe I wasn’t there to talk to him when he needed someone.”

“I’ll tell you something, Mr. Shaw,” Briggs said. “Gypsies aren’t the same as you or me. They live in a very close-knit society and anyone who isn’t a Gypsy doesn’t rank very high in their estimation.”

“I… I see.”

“We’ll be in touch, Mr. Shaw,” Will said. “It was nice meeting you, Mrs. Shaw. I’ll be looking forward to your next showing.”

Gillian smiled and showed them the way to the door, leaving Tom standing in the living room, staring blankly at the mantel, his thoughts turned inward. Briggs paused at the front door and looked back at Tom.

“I guess maybe I shouldn’t have said that,” he said to Gillian. “That thing about Gypsies. I wasn’t trying to upset him. I just thought it was something he should know. The way he’s tearing himself up… There’s nothing he could’ve done—not with a Gypsy. Believe me.”

Gillian nodded. “He’s upset,” she said, “but I think it’s always better to know the truth, don’t you?”

“That’s what our job is, ma’am. Trying to find the truth.” Briggs hesitated a moment longer, but there was nothing more to say. He’d already said more than enough. “Thanks for the coffee, Mrs. Shaw.”
