Amid the storm last week, he found one consolation. It was a letter from a large U.S. firm that is helping dredge the Suez Canal. The company had already heard of the colonel's crusade and wanted to know all the details, because it was interested in starting a campaign of its own among the wives of its employees...

In Comfort, Nickie salvaged his ego by catching a crook; in Tents, Nickie becomes a crook, at odd hours, and ends up chasing his own split personality.
