Summary
As the Hotel Twamley fills with guests, nobody could have imagined what happened next. A combination of factors, certainly not aided by the strong drink on tap, led to an explosion the likes of which Paris had never seen before, or imagined possible.

| 1:11.2 | Last time we followed the exploits of an enraged Lloyd George, that the British Prime Minister tried to get to the bottom of an incredible proposal, that being a resolution calling for devolved independence for Ireland in the north and south. The significance of this proposal was palpable because it had the potential to prevent the outbreak of the Irish War of Independence. |
