  “I thought it peculiar, because his house was like a fortress, every alarm and defence you could think of. He had things which must have been worth more, loads of expensive antiques and paintings. The place was like an art gallery. I wondered where he got the money for it. Even a general doesn’t earn that much and he didn’t have old money, whatever he wanted me to believe. He told me he’d been lucky playing the stock-market. He said he’d made enough to secure himself an elegant retirement. Is it what he said it was - a weapon?”

  “You could call it that, it’s a device to selectively erase memories. It is what we think was used on Tippy and on two Zeninan Rubies by Dalzina.”

  They stared at each other and the coolness between them vanished. She reached out her hand and touched his arm.

  “Let’s get go see Tippy,” she said. “Perhaps we’ll get to the bottom of this at last.”
