"I will be walking in the garden, please come retrieve me at 9 for the conferences." The lieutenant nods in agreement as George heads out. It would be a long day of sitting, so he wanted to stretch his legs while he could. He always found gardens calming, and right now he needed to collect his thoughts for the coming events. The enormity of his responsibilities hadn't really hit him until now. The future of an entire nation rested upon his shoulders. The stakes had never been higher. However, he at least didn't have a dog in this fight per se, so that would help him remain detached, still passions would run hot on both sides. George continued his stroll through the garden, contemplating his role, planning out his strategies and proposals. His mind would wander though at times, up to his room, where his fiancee lay. That would make him smile and remember for whom he did this. He would then refocus his mind and continue on his ruminations. Finally the Lieutenant returned. George saw him and nodded. He took a last sniff of the closing blossoms of a jasmine flower before straightening, closing his eyes, taking a deep, cleansing breath and opening his eyes, fixed and full of purpose. He nodded to the Lieutenant to proceed and followed him out of the garden to his date with history.</blockquote>
