11 aAt the same time.
12 And maybe I'll be able to give you some bConsolation in exchange for your attendance.
13 Ta ta.
CHAPTER 51 When Harry had hung up the phone, we thought over what he had said,
2 And drank quite a lot,
3 And had a little bit of cConsolation,
4 dBecause a little bit was all we could afford,
5 Which got some of the guys to supposing that maybe they wouldn't mind getting together one more time,
6 In Harry's memory,
7 eEspecially if there was going to be some Consolation,
8 fFrom Rio.
CHAPTER 61 And so it happened as Harry had requested,
2 gWhich is often the way,
3 And one week later we gathered again,
4 hIn the same place,
5 iAt the same time,
6 And waited for Harry to come through,
7 Which he did,

3 Which is a special kind of talent,
4 Even if it sometimes takes you by surprise,

8 oBlocking all the exits,
9 Except for one pAngel,

11 And spoke to the twelve of us, saying,
12 "Greetings from your friend qHarry,
13 r"Who has asked me to convey his Consolation to you,
14 "And much more besides."
CHAPTER 81 When the Angel had said these things, Lucky frowned and replied to him, saying,
2 "Why are you grinning like that?
3 "Do you find us amusing in some way,
4 "Or is there something you have not explained to us yet,
5 "Something funny you wish to sshare with us perhaps?"
6 Then the Angel grinned even more broadly and said, "That is it exactly. I have something very funny to tshare with you,
7 u"Namely, all of this excellent, high-quality video footage of the twelve of you enjoying Harry's Consolation,
8 v"Which was taken in this very room,
9 w"On the very same night that Harry was arrested,
10 "Not to mention all the other excellent, high-quality video footage I have of the twelve of you enjoying yourselves in various ways on xHarry's Learjet,
