Although after processing the briefings in the afternoon it's supposed to be his free time, our Sir Arthur still isn't idle. He's either off to the University of London to intimidate Wheatstone, or he's at a café ordering a cup of tea while writing his manuscript.
During this period, he sometimes uses it to maintain social relations, such as stopping by the White House of the Shanghai Military Department to see if his old friend Mr. Carter is diligently performing his duties, or grabbing a fishing pole to join Dickens on the upper Thames River to discuss ideas for new books.
Of course, maintaining the normal operation of the intelligence system is also a very important part of his responsibilities, so sometimes he inspects the work at the Nightingale Mansion in Covent Garden Market, or clandestinely visits Miss Flora Hastings at Kensington Palace.
What?
You ask if he can rest at night?
My God!
The nights are the busiest times!
