Ned. Ah!

Peter. And what brings you to town? Pleasure, I suppose.

Jones. Well——

Peter. Yes, I know. London's a playground to you fellows. It's more like a battlefield to your hard-worked member.

Jones (firmly). It's not exactly pleasure we're here for, Comrade Garside.

Peter. Oh?

Ned. More like business. We're a sort of a delegation.

Peter. Delegates, eh? What's on? I don't remember any congress at the moment?

Jones. We're on a special mission.

Peter (obviously forcing an appearance of interest). Now, that's very interesting. May I ask the object of this mission?
