She nodded, sighed and closed her eyes. “I used to be carrying flip-flops so I used to be virtually barefoot. I feel he was in all probability near my top, perhaps a half an inch taller. So, 5 ten probably. No taller.” She opened her eyes.

“Bastard broke my glasses. It’s a very good factor I’ve one other pair with me.”

“And he mentioned nothing else?”

“No. However his accent was Irish, I’m fairly certain of it. Extra like Rory’s, who’s from Belfast, so it was undoubtedly from Northern Eire.”

“You mentioned you didn’t hear it at first.”
