Thanks, James! It's the terminology that's the problem, you see. I really
must reread my Campion novels. I'm out of touch with British colloquialisms
and need recharged. I managed to write the scene without using any of the
terms, but it's good to know that she COULD get him out shortly after he was
arrested. You just can't get those facts from a dictionary! Thanks again!
