Introducing a new, probably temporary character. That same morning, while Peter, miss Helen and mrs. Day were having tea, Debbie Jones was at work in the Jumping Bean. There weren't any customers and she was reading a tabloid. Another juicy story about one of Britain's princes... She loved the monarchy, but they shouldn't draw so much attention. Her cheeks glowed as she read about the scandal. How dared they write such a thing, those horrible papers... For convenience she ignored the fact that she always bought and read all of them. Her literary exercise was disturbed by the sound of a very noisy engine, and as she looked up from her gossip, she saw that a motorcycle was coming to a halt in front of the cafe.

" I understand. So you are from the Town University? Are you a scientist?" " PhD student. Professor Brown is in charge of the research. I'm going to dig up the bones though." " It wouldn't be my favorie past-time." " It's interesting realy. You never know what you'll find this time."
