BTW, Hannay is Major-General Sir Richard Hannay at this point. You might also add in his old friend Sandy Arbuthnot, Lord Clanroyden. Sandy was based on Aubrey Herbert, a British diplomat and world traveller who was twice offered the throne of Albania, pre- and post-WWI. He's visiting since his wife's death and their daughter's work in America means he would otherwise be alone at Christmas.
