you come in here it must have occurred

to you sir that it's been two whole days

since the news of Nelson's victory and

there's been no word of confirmation

from across the channel a great storm

has been raging one of the worst in

years nevertheless boats have managed to

put in from Calais I don't understand

you that it would seem sir that there

has been a slight distortion of facts

one facts minora the report of Nelson's

victory is a fraud a deliberate

fabrication on the part of Jonathan

Blake why you don't know what you're

saying

isn't it rather strange coincidence but

on the very day the order from the

Admiralty was to be dispatched recalling

Nelson ships miraculously come for news

of Nelson's victory the victory on which

Blake had gambled his entire fortune

where was Blake on that day he was ill

at home he was neither ill nor was he at

home I've had good reason of later had

been watched he was in Calais

he went to send a message by the

semaphore perpetrating the most

monstrous fraud in history Oh impossible

I demand that you make an immediate

investigation yes I I will of course

what I would my son leave

come in please

have you ever seen this gentleman before

yes sir where he was the one I drove to

Dover three days back where did you take
