Sitting on the edge of his camp bed he listened to Sergeant Instone and finally said: “Well done. I think you may have got something there.” And he thought for a moment, swinging his legs. “When the Inspector’s finished with him, take him along to one of the interview rooms. Give him a large, strong cup of tea – station brew – and it wouldn’t do any harm to put a drop of something in it.” “I think I can get some nice S.R.D. (N), sir.”[1] “Just the thing,” said Hazlerigg. “Treat him kindly – lush him up a bit – but he’s got to drink it. Two cups of it, if he’ll take it. Drink some yourself, too.” The Sergeant grinned and departed. Hazlerigg started to dress. Ten minutes later he was sitting opposite Rod in the room once occupied by Major McCann and Gunner Andrews. Both of them were drinking large mugs of tea in a fairly companionable sort of way. There was no one else (visibly) present. Hazlerigg said: “I’m not going to ask you for any breaches of confidence, son, about the crowd you work for, I mean; for one thing we know a good deal about them already and I don’t suppose there’s much you could add, from your own knowledge, and even if you could, you wouldn’t—and I’d go so far as to say that we’d respect you less if you did.”
