Sgt. Gavin Troy
- Sergeant Gavin Troy: One of the old boys behaved very strangely when he found out I was a detective.
- D.C.I. Tom Barnaby: Strangely? How?
- Sergeant Gavin Troy: Jumpy, ill at ease. He seemed scared.
- D.C.I. Tom Barnaby: Huh. What's his name?
- Sergeant Gavin Troy: Prewitt. Arthur Prewitt, retired schoolmaster, poofter.
- D.C.I. Tom Barnaby: Oh, for...
- Sergeant Gavin Troy: Well, that's what he is. A right cream puff.
- D.C.I. Tom Barnaby: It was a crime when he was young, Troy, to be gay. Maybe that's why he was ill at ease, bad memories from people like you.
- Joyce Barnaby: What about the spare room?
- D.C.I. Tom Barnaby: Well, I'll set some paint on the walls and it'll be transformed in no time.
- Cully Barnaby: Hello Gavin. How are you?
- Sergeant Gavin Troy: Oh, fine, thanks.
- Joyce Barnaby: He's given us this lovely cactus.
- Cully Barnaby: Well, it's - um, beautiful. Thank you very much.
- Sergeant Gavin Troy: When did you come down?
- Cully Barnaby: Last night.
- Joyce Barnaby: She's getting us organized.
- Cully Barnaby: Trying to. Do you fancy some coffee?
- Sergeant Gavin Troy: Oh, great.
- Cully Barnaby: Dad?
- D.C.I. Tom Barnaby: No thanks. I'm going to go and get some paint and I'm going to drop off and see Auntie Alice on the way home. My aunt, she's staying at a nursing home up near Aspen Tallow. She's been in hospital, poor old darling, and we need to keep an eye on her.
- Sergeant Gavin Troy: Don't fancy the idea of getting old, sir.
- D.C.I. Tom Barnaby: Not much you can do about it, Troy.
- Sergeant Gavin Troy: All this talk of healthy diets and living longer. What's the point? I mean, who wants to live to be 89?
- D.C.I. Tom Barnaby: Someone who's 88. So none of them had anything to say?
- Sergeant Gavin Troy: Ah, it was a bit of a nightmare, sir. I couldn't get a straight answer out of any of them.
- [pause]
- Sergeant Gavin Troy: There was one thing, sir.
- D.C.I. Tom Barnaby: What's that?
- Sergeant Gavin Troy: One of the old boys behaved very strangely when he found out I was a detective.
- D.C.I. Tom Barnaby: Strangely? How?
- Sergeant Gavin Troy: Jumpy. Ill at ease. He seemed scared.
- D.C.I. Tom Barnaby: Huh. What's his name?
