Friday, 13 March 1925

8:00 AM
Friday, 13 March 1925
Cool, wet, overcast, partial showers.

In the wee hours of the morning, everyone drank a toast and toddled off to bed. The group was (more or less) up and raring to go by 8 o'clock in the morning.

On schedule, they could faintly hear Big Ben's distinctive chimes from the far side of Buckingham Palace and the park ringing at 25 seconds to the hour, followed by the tolling of the main bell.

Breakfast was served in Howard's room.

After washing up JM heads to Howard's room, dressed sharply and not looking any less to wear.  Youth, a military background, and near abstinence from alcohol all likely contributors to such condition.  To make things even worse, he was chipper, having seen traces of sunlight through the famous morning fog to make him think his hungover friend/employee might just have few issues with the return flight.

"Good morning, good morning!  Kippers and toast with marmalade for me, if you have it!"  A healthy breakfast even, smoked fish.

Phil wakes up, what a great mattress.  He starts thinking of ways to get it back to New York.
Onward to the scrambled egg breakfast!

In reply to Phil Webley (msg #3):

The full English breakfast (recently called a "Scotch Breakfast") was full and hearty. There was toast and fried, poached or scrambled eggs, bacon, sliced tomato, beans and hash browned potatoes. (Eggs Benedict were a relatively recent American dish that was increasingly in demand by travellers at the posh Park Lane Hotel.) Tea and coffee were served. Fruit juice was rare in England, although becoming more common in the USA due to Prohibition (as produce was shifted from alcohol to other beverages). Heartier fare (bubble and squeak) would be available at a pub or diners.

Arriving at the suite, Ralph and Storm dug in as well. Simmons helped serve, always seeing to Howard first.

Singh assists Simmons and takes a light breakfast of his own.

Howard eats a full breakfast and sees to it that conversation stays away from future plans in anticipation of Darlington's arrival.

Just after 8.05am DS Darlington arrives at the front desk of the PArk Lane Hotel. He flashes his police badge to the concierge, who directs him to the elevator and tells Darlington where Lampton's suite is located. Darlington takes the elevator and checks himself in a mirror outside Lampton's suite, wiping off a bit of leftover scrambled egg from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief. He then straightens his neck-tie and knocks firmly on the door three times.
