Today is Wednesday, Mr. Albert also reminded Shard not to contact the two people on the note on the same day for safety reasons, and to finish this task by the end of the week. Therefore, Shard could still follow his original plan and take advantage of the afternoon to handle the matter of Freeman Hawthorne.
As for the whereabouts of the guy who just emerged from the "fog" of amnesia, Shard still went to find the MI6 contact, Mr. Cooper, the journalist codenamed "Boatman" working at the Sunday Review, for help.
"Oh, you can just go directly to the Parsifal Club."
When Shard met Mr. Cooper at the press office, the latter was "composing" content for a news article about a noble's affair. Seeing Shard, he put down his fountain pen and invited Shard for a drink at the tavern next door:
"It's Wednesday afternoon now, he's definitely at the Parsifal Club."
"You seemed to say the same thing last time. Doesn't Mr. Hawthorne have anything else to do in general?"
