Bill waves off the suggestion. "But thank you. It's been an exceedingly interesting evening, but I do need to get back home to my wife. I'd hate to keep her waiting." He gestures to the bottle of Ogden's. "Do help yourself, though, if you like."

He's not had to pay for a thing here since Dover. One of these days he might have a chat to Bernard about that... but maybe not.

Another thought for another time, Bill.
