spent what little savings the family had on the extravagant stole. During Maloin’s shift the next night he is visited by Morrison, who questions him as to the previous night’s events as the body of the drowned man is retrieved from the quayside below.
The next day at the tavern, Morrison meets Brown’s wife (Agi Szirtes), and tells her that Brown is under suspicion for the theft and for the murder at the quayside. He asks for her help in finding him and repeats to her Mitchell’s offer to Brown, but she remains silent. At home, Henriette tells Maloin she found a man in their hut at the seaside, and in fear locked the door and ran home. An agitated Maloin tells her not to tell anyone, and leaves for the hut. He unlocks the door, and receiving no response to his calling Brown’s name, steps inside, closing the door behind. Minutes later he re-emerges, breathing heavily.
