"I don't want to talk to you. After all those nasty things you said last night—"

"For God's sake, lower your voice!" He indicated the kitchen door.

"I'll do better than that, I'll leave. Go back to your damned dissertation."

Frank was at his desk in the library. Sean was there too, perched on one corner of the desk. He mumbled a greeting. Frank jumped up from his chair and hurried to meet me. "Good morning, good morning! I was just about to go looking for you. How did you get on yesterday? Did Jordan behave himself?"

I could have killed Jordan for putting ideas into my head. Now I'd be hearing sly hints in everything Frank said. Sean's sidelong glance wasn't any easier to interpret.

"He was very nice," I said primly, avoiding Sean's eyes. "He took me to lunch and to see the church."

"You slept well?" Frank asked. His eyes were wide and innocent. "Nothing disturbed you or worried you?"

Had Sean come clean and thrown himself on his boss's mercy? I didn't think so, but if the old boy was hoping to induce confidences and confessions from me he wasn't going to get them.

"I wasn't nervous, if that's what you mean. I wasn't alone for a second. I don't know what you told Jordan, but he drove half the night to get here before you left. That wasn't necessary."

"It was the least he could do. Well, good. I hope you have made no plans for today. Mr. Barnsley will arrive this afternoon, and you'll want to watch him begin the survey."

"Mr. Barnsley," I repeated. "Survey?"
