“Remind me, Reeves. Which one’s Dawson?” “Nathaniel Dawson, sir. He was one of the original four who helped rebuild the time machine.” “Not one of the second team, then?” “No, sir.” I stared at the advertisement. A bit over-the-top, I thought. It was lauding this fuel cell as the answer to Britain’s energy needs. Automobiles, trains, Zeppelins, even factories were going to be powered by Dawson’s Hydrogen Fuel Cell. “What does this mean, Reeves?” “I think a visit to the library is called for, sir. Before we accuse Mr Dawson of murder, I think it wise to be sure of our facts.” I let Reeves drive us to the library. He knew the way, and I needed time to reflect. Could Dawson have done it? He ticked the ‘person you’d least suspect’ box. I had yet to see his ears though. At the library, I was somewhat taken aback by the reception Reeves received.
