In what the Daily Mail has called "the hundred hair-raising days" since, Brown has gone about...

He turned vaguely to one of his aides, and then realizing where it was, stepped briskly back through the door to retrieve the coat himself. Leaving for Quincy House, he walked, crisp and business-like to a waiting car, his sleekly combed hair unruffled by the sharp wind overhead...
