Dr. Francis Preston
"We spoke to the others from the Buffs who are still alive, Dr. Sangster, Paice, the Colonel. Don't be a fool. You know what happened to the Major could happen to you. Or would you rather we told the police our suspicions? This killer must be apprehended somehow."

Norton is still unconvinced. “What has any of this got to do with Abadan? Who even told you about that?” He wipes his mouth with the back of his hand.

"Are you drunk whilst working, Mr. Norton? This is highly improper." Helena squeaked, feigning a look of shock and proper dismay.

Norton curls his lip in disgust. “Stop wasting my time. I talked to you out of respect for Mr. Paice, but leave me alone now. Goodnight.”
He turns to walk back inside.

Harry looks doubtful. "What if he has accommodation on the premises? A room or servants quarters out the back somewhere?"
"I suggest covert observation from the lounge. And I think we're dealing with this particular squib the wrong way. You're being too nice. Next time, I suggest we bark orders and make threats, that's the world he's used to."
"In any event, the Club cognac won't drink itself so I'm off to find a chair by a fire."

Preston looks around for a vantage spot at the back of the building from where the kitchen exit where Norton is working can be observed whilst remaining hidden.

"Oh! It's still only 8pm. Norton isn't likely to finish work until late so we had best wait inside until closing time."

"It was Colonel Hollingsworth himself who told us about Abadan," says Reg as Norton starts to walk away. "Everyone who has been murdered so far was on that mission to Abadan. Since you were as well, your life is in danger - which I think you realise."

At the mention of the Colonel, Norton walks back. He looks confused.
“The Colonel told you about Abadan? Why? He made us swear to keep it a secret.”

"We first heard the word out of the mouth of Major Gower," says Reg. "It was the last thing he ever said, when he was dying after being waylaid last night, after he left the club. It wasn't until the Captain here went to speak to Colonel Hollingsworth about it that we knew what it meant." He glances at Harry to allow him to continue.
