Thursday, July 3–Thursday, July 10
Salander was up before Blomkvist, around 6:00. She put on some water for coffee and went to take a shower. When Blomkvist woke at 7:30, she was reading his summary of the Harriet Vanger case on his iBook. He came out to the kitchen with a towel round his waist, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.
“There’s coffee on the stove,” she said.
He looked over her shoulder.
“That document was password protected, dammit,” he said.
She turned and peered up at him.
“It takes thirty seconds to download a programme from the Net that can crack Word’s encryption protection.”
“We need to have a talk on the subject of what’s yours and what’s mine,” he said, and went to take a shower.
When he came back, Salander had turned off his computer and put it back in its place in his office. She had booted up her own PowerBook. Blomkvist felt sure that she had already transferred the contents of his computer to her own.
Salander was an information junkie with a delinquent1 child’s take on morals and ethics2.
He had just sat down to breakfast when there was a knock at the front door. Martin Vanger looked so solemn that for a second Blomkvist thought he had come to bring the news of his uncle’s death.
“No, Henrik’s condition is the same as yesterday. I’m here for a quite different reason. Could I come in for a moment?”
Blomkvist let him in, introducing him to “my research assistant” Lisbeth Salander. She gave the captain of industry barely a glance and a quick nod before she went back to her computer. Martin Vanger greeted her automatically but looked so distracted that he hardly seemed to notice her. Blomkvist poured him a cup of coffee and invited him to have a seat.
“What’s this all about?”
“You don’t subscribe3 to the Hedestad Courier?”
“No. But sometimes I see it at Susanne’s Bridge Café.”
“Then you haven’t read this morning’s paper.”
“You make it sound as if I ought to.”
Martin Vanger put the day’s paper on the table in front of him. He had been given two columns on the front page, continued on page four. “Convicted Libel Journalist Hiding Here.” A photograph taken with a telephoto lens from the church hill on the other side of the bridge showed Blomkvist coming out of the cottage.
