Egypt: September 1942
Prismark1021 April 2023
In Egypt the British contingent are doing a lot of copulation with one another. Almost everyone apart from Harriet, who has been ignored by Guy.

As Dobson tells her, almost everyone is married to someone. Angela Hooper who found solace with Bill Castlebar after the death of her son is shocked when his wife shows up.

To help her get over the betrayal. Harriet takes Angela to Luxor but there is a cholera outbreak. A frightened Angela returns to Cairo. Luckily for Harriet she meets actor turned soldier Aiden Pratt and they spend time together in Luxor.

Back in Cairo. Lord Pinkrose finally gets to give his lecture on Byron. He is promptly shot dead by some Egyptian nationalists who mistook him for another similarly named aristocrat.

After contracting dysentery in Luxor. Harriet once again finds herself being ignored by Guy. Just maybe he might have someone else. She decides to return to England but fate has a few more twists in store.

It is another episode where the British abroad do not seem to be in sync to a changing world. Like who gives a fig about a lecture on Byron when the Egyptians did not want the Brits there. Dobson knew that most of the Egyptians were anti British. The Egyptians just put up with them as the war was on.
