This time Jane and her boy-friend were visiting Washington D.C. They had difficulty finding their way because their map was so small, and then Jane had to leave Russell to go and interview a Senator, Senator Gatewater, in his office on Capitol Hill. The Senator’s secretary, Miss Pendlebury, showed Jane into the Senator’s office, where the Senator was eating cookies – an American word for biscuits. Jane said her boy-friend manufactured cookies. Senator Gatewater found this very interesting, as President Turpin was very fond of eating cookies, and since it was election year, the President’s support was very important.

He offered Jane some cookies and began to answer her questions about the US Constitution, but he was interrupted by Miss Pendlebury, who said that Russell Grant had called to say he was lost in Washington – he wanted to go to the White House. Senator Gatewater told her to get Russell a car or find him a helicopter – after all, he was important. Then the Senator went on with his explanation until Miss Pendlebury interrupted him again. There’d been a call from the White House! Russell was having tea with the President and Mrs Turpin, and they were discussing a new trade agreement with Great Britain to import Russell’s cookies!
