Derek laughed, "boarding school."  He took a bite of his soup.  "But I did
get to spend a portion of the Christmas Holidays in Egypt.  Which was a
complete surprise, because.....I....had come home with a letter dismissing
me permanently from that institution. I was rather surprised my father
hadn't lost his temper and changed his mind about that trip."

So was Julia, but she had decided long ago she wasn't going to try and make
sense of Winston Rayne.

The main meals came then and she sat back and smiled thanks as it was set
before her.  Then the waiter went and set Derek's plate before him.  When he
was done he nodded at both and left.

"How is Christmas in Egypt?" Julia asked as she picked up a fork.
