	The Lord Major nodded with understanding as the Cairo Prison representative informed him in absolutely no uncertain terms that the hospitality of the British Military would not be acceptable, given the circumstances. In truth, he might have expected that this would have been the situation, given that it would be the standard practice of an active police force (and one that was trained into local law enforcement by British soldiery, including himself), but hope sprung from his more optimistic mood that morning that maybe, [i]maybe[/i], they would bend the rules just a skosh if he showed a sense of cooperation and hospitality. Sadly, this was not the case. 

	So he changed gears. 

	[color=b8860b]"You are patently correct, my dear sir."[/color] he spoke in grand, mellifluous tones. [color=b8860b]"I apologize for the lapse in established protocol. It must be the vigorous effects of the tea. In any case, I shall ensure our absolute cooperation immediately."[/color] He leaned in a bit, voice growing raspy with quiet intensity, [color=b8860b]"But is it really necessary? I mean..."[/color] the elder's eyes widened, a look of concern creeping over his face, [color=b8860b]"[i]The Wagon?[/i]"[/color] He shuddered. 

	Very soberly, Reginald continued. [color=b8860b]"Very well, then. My men shall follow you directly in the luxury of the Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost, and shall act as counsel on behalf of the two outlanders. Do be a chap and inform my Corporal of the change of plans on the way to the gate, yes? Perhaps when all of this balderdash is over, you might join me in a tumbler of single-malt, as means of further apology for our little misunderstanding, hmm? And Miss Clark, Mr. Elvsgaard? Let us not waste time with ingratiating conversation. We shall have plenty of time to discuss concerns after. Nonetheless, you are welcome for the hospitality of the Empire."[/color]
