Last week the Inspector drank two cups of tea before he left. A man who holds back the question he wants to ask, I've noticed, lets his tea cool at a different pace.

• Inspector Augustin MorelI only stood up because you never poured a third cup. Have one ready next time.
  ÉloïseStarting from the third cup, there's a price, Inspector.
• NadineYou forgot to lock the door when you left that day. I locked it for you.
  ÉloïseI didn't forget. It simply never occurred to me to lock it. That's the more troubling part.
