Staines looked up from the notes resting on his lap. He felt a sense of dull sickness in the pit of his stomach. The old woman must have gone mad immediately after the death of her brother. Their relationship seemed to have been abnormal, possibly even incestuous. He wondered if they’d made some bizarre suicide pact that Claudia had failed to honour.

The sea rolled back and forth in the near-distance beyond the muddle of moon-drenched rooftops. Above the waves, across the nightsky, thousands of stars stood out in the blackness. He wondered if he might see one of them suddenly blink out of existence as he watched, collapsing in itself like one of the dying minds Ghorla had described. He had no idea how long stars took to perish but suspected that their life span dwarfed that of a man's into insignificance. The thought of time reminded him that he'd no idea how late it was now and he took his fobwatch out of his mackintosh pocket. It was eight-thirty precisely.

He'd missed dinner at the hotel and realised he'd have to make a meal of Swedish meatballs from a can. But if it was good enough for Edgar it was good enough for him too. He picked up the basket (containing the still-slumbering cat) plus his bag of paperbacks and hurriedly made his way to the hotel through the crazily angled passageways of Scarsdale Bay. He didn't wish to be late for his appointment with Claudia Ghorla at nine.
