Book Murder at the Regal Hotel continued:
"Well, then," said Sian, "What did you find?"
"I found the names of the four most likely books, and I've put the list on your desk." I replied.
"Only four?".
"Four is enough to begin with. And they're not in the Library, I checked. Not this City Library anyway. You might find them at the University. But I doubt it. The University of Normandy might have them or somewhere like that, perhaps."
"I'm not going all the way to France just to look at a book. Can't you find them somewhere else?"
"I'll keep trying."
"Good, but not yet. Tell me what's new about the Greg Baker case? Can you get into that hotel yet?"
"No, apparently SOCO haven't finished yet but as soon as they do I'll be going to see the room."
"Will that be before this evening?"
"I should think so. They'll want to get it done before the weekend. So if possible I'll go tomorrow morning. That'll give me time to get to Ninian Park before the kick-off."
"Oh, they're playing at home this weekend are they? It's no good inviting you to see the Rugby then?"
On most weekends she goes to see a rugby match. I don't know whether she does that because she really likes rugby or whether she thinks it's part of the Welsh cultural background she wants to be part of. At any rate she is pretty knowledgeable about it. This Saturday it was the Newport Dragons.
As it turned out the SOCO people wanted the room over the weekend so I couldn't get there on Saturday morning. I spent the time looking up more sites on the internet and then, at about midday, Sian's friends turned up to go with her to the Rugby match.
One of them was called Roberta. "Just call me Rob," she said when Sian introduced me.
"Just call me Dai," I said. Sian had introduced me as Davy, which is what I prefer to be called.. Roberta frowned. She wasn't sure whether I was being frivolous. I was, and Sian knew I was. A smile flickered across her face. Two other women were in the group. One was Leslie ( "Just call me Les") and the other was Barbara ( "Call me Bobbie.") As they left I called out a greeting,
"Don't get too excited. It all depends who makes the first touch." I heard Jo saying to Sian, "Oh, Sian, I don't know how you put up with him. He's so . . .well . . . so common."
My friends are of a similar opinion. They don't know how I put up with her. They think we ought to be incompatible. She's educated, sophisticated, fastidious and I'm just a yob. At least they don't exactly say that to my face, but I know that's what they mean.
They think that she's demanding and I'm easy-going and I ought to find her difficult to work with. As it happens we are a great team. She is demanding, but it's just that she demands the highest standards of competence, but what they don't appreciate is that I do too. I require the highest standards of myself and of her, and up to now neither of us has been disappointed.
A Taffy born and bred, I used to work in the docks in Cardiff. After a number of years I found it too restricted for my liking and looked for something more interesting. So I took an evening course in computing and in my innocence I applied for a job with Sian in her detective agency. To my great surprise she took me on. She said it was because of my computer knowledge but I think it was because of my name. When she interviewed me she had been curious about it.
"Well, Mr Gam," she said, reading the letter I had written to apply for the job, "And what does the D stand for?"
