TGD had dealings with the postal system before. His interrogation of the Postmaster was cruel. Without hesitation he attacked when any sign of deviousness, confusion, or simple lack of clarity surfaced.
"My dear sir, you're talking pure balderdash! Come, come, to the point, man. Who was the last man known unequivocally to have had possession of those arrows? None of this 'It seems like,' or 'I think it was,' or any of that tomfoolishness. Who do you recall with certainty last had the arrows!"
TGD augured in on the key contact, step by step. With each new suspect he reiterated the above questions. His eyes were brightening. He plainly had a clue!
Demo listened and watched. He was impressed by TGD's step-by-step, inexorable closing in on the culprit.
Mercury recalled finding the package of arrows. In his job as censor he had decided to notify the Postmaster. The latter had called in the security department, and the arrows were transferred to them.
"To whom did you specifically deliver the arrows?" TGD queried.
"Why, to Janus, of course. As doorkeeper Janus is in full charge of security. Would I have delivered them to anyone else!"
TGD smiled. "Thank you, of course you delivered them to Janus.
Eh, did you ask for a receipt?"
"Ask for a receipt! From Zeus' own doorkeeper! Never!"
"Ummm. Yes, I understand. Thank you, you have been most helpful."
