George leaves the conference room and heads to the garden. There he sees Drury-Lowe having a cigar as well and George joins him in a smoke as they recount the negotiations and discuss the future.
Drury-Lowe says that he will remain in Egypt to help establish their base while General Woolsely returns to England with the treaties and General Graham will sail off with the majority of the troops, who are now needed in South Africa.

Abby smiled and took the gentleman's arm. "Now, could I convince you to indulge in a bit of pride of ownership and give me a tour?"
The main entrance has charred and damaged doors that are currently open, the stained glass in the door windows all broken and melted. The entry foyer is a burnt-out husk of a room with charred walls, a few burnt tatters on the walls of what were once tapestries. Slate tiles litter the floor and the night sky can been seen through the gaping holes in the roof. He takes them to the left and says, "Let's start withthe part of the building that is still intact."
 



Ruby kept smiling while she nodded in agreement. "It can be a difficult thing being a friend and advisor to the Queen but someone has to do it. Of course, that means being at their beck and call. Perhaps another time." Ruby nodded to Ela that she was ready to go.

George had finally found Ruby in the maze of a market place and came up behind her and her companion, George could only assume was the Ela Ruby had been speaking of. "And what trouble are you two ladies getting into" he says with a grin.

"George!" Ruby exclaimed happily, obviously surprised. "We were just out shopping and actually, talking about the plans for tonight. This very nice gentleman," she waves towards the Sheikh, "Invited me to dinner but I told him we already had plans with the Queen." She bounced over to him, took his hand and kissed his cheek. "I am happy you are here, I've missed you. How did your meeting go?" she asked curiously.

"Better than ever could be expected. There were some grumbles from both sides, but I bullied, subtly threatened, and otherwise manipulated as good an outcome as I think anyone could hope for." says George happily, returning Ruby's kiss.

He turns to the Sheikh, "Oh my apologies sahibi, I am Miss West's genius, millionaire, playboy, philanthropist, fiancee, George Eastman" says George rather cheekily, but he was after all in a very good mood, as he extends his hand.

Ruby giggled, "And so humble too. I am glad to hear that today went well. I'm not certain I could handle any more saving of the world right now."

"Exactly, we have earned a vacation that is for sure." The poor Sheikh is a bit stunned by the arrival and George takes advantage of the silence. "Well we do have dinner plans and unfortunately, we do not control the guest list or we would invite you. So nice to meet you, enjoy your day.' says George as he hustles Ruby and Ela out.
