Thanks so much, Juan. The potential for cliff hangers on this particular story is enormous. I'm following the Robert Mckee (Story) rule: make life difficult for your protagonist!

Great stuff! Atmospheric, wonderfully illustrating the debauchery of the club! Looking forward to the next part

Thanks! The view held at the time was that 1914 - 1918 was as debauched as the 'Swinging Sixties'. But there was a consensus view by everyone that it should all be forgotten about once peace returned. There's some hard evidence that all the arms businessmen too old to be conscripted abused their positions of power in the way I've described here.
