	Reginald drained his glass of fine, brut champagne, and gingerly set his glass upon the bar. [color=b8860b]"Yes, Peter, quite. The Lady Munn shall be taking full control over this enterprise. As much as I prefer to assume the mantle of leadership in overland endeavors of this sort, I must concede the fact that this is indeed [i]not[/i] a military exercise. I'd haven't the foggiest notion how to continue past the first leg of our journey, nor what to do as we arrived."[/color] 

	With a sigh, the Lord Major slid from his barstool and ambled the few steps necessary to reach the platters of culinary delights he requested earlier. It had been a long day and he had really intended to grab some supper out and about in Cairo, but certain events put those plans on hold. A bit of date bread, some assorted fruits, and smoked, savory meats. If there was but a single complaint he could utter, and he would only [i]very[/i] quietly, it would sound something to the effect of, [color=b8860b]"...i do hope this isn't goat again... ...even camel would suffice..."[/color] 

	[color=b8860b]"<ahem> But yes, dear boy. The Lady Munn is quite capable in many regards. I can only hope to speak to the right people, get the right equipment, and have my clerk fill out requisitions in triplicate for what we can spare here. If you truly wish to jump into [i]work[/i] at a time like this, I could certainly use the assistance of a younger man who knows proper protocol. We can discuss in greater detail on the morrow. But I should be honored to have you on the team, such as it is, were you to decide to join us."[/color] 

	[color=b8860b]"But for the meantime, I am suddenly curious as to the plight of our new friend, Miss Ridgeway. (Oh, and by the by, do feel welcome to more than a mere fig. I cannot possibly consume all of this myself.) I believe you had mentioned that your family used to be in the Noble Profession of Purveyors of Fine Distillations and Fermentations. Had you given consideration to continuing your family's practice in more legally forgiving locales, possibly with investors?"[/color]
