"Albert." That was another of her source's idiosyncrasies - he didn't use his surname.
"Albert, it's Mayson." He wasn't one for small talk, so she began her questions. "Did you go to the library yesterday?"
"Naturally. We had an appointment." That was his way of scolding her for her tardiness.
"Did you notice two Australians there?" Mayson picked up her pen in readiness should Albert have any information worth noting.
"Yes. One arrived at seven and a half minutes to two and the other arrived five minutes later. They were still there when I left."
That meant there was less than three minutes for Albert to have heard any of their conversation. "Did you hear what they were talking about?"
"One owed the other money."
Thanks!
