While Harlech, then William David Ormsby Gore, was slogging through a series of unglamorous diplomatic jobs, his friend got elected President and specifically requested Ormsby Gore as Britain's Ambassador to Washington.

Not until the white-suited attendants arrive is it entirely clear who belongs in confinement, but the mystery dissipates soon after Harvy's entrance...
