Director Wu was sitting in the bar talking with Lord Bagsworth. The Director and the Ambassador were enjoying the hospitality of the Hotel for a couple of days while Diedre and Freddy tried to make up their minds as to whether or not they wanted to return to their old lives. Wu had asked Bagsworth how it was that a perfect replica of the Hotel Del Coronado came to be here on the shore of the Bay of Serenity. "Well," began the Lord, "We were vacationing with some American friends. We had taken the train to San Diego, and stayed at the Hotel Del while the steam-yacht was made ready. The Panama Canal was recently opened for business, so we went that way and were headed up towards Bermuda." He pauses as the barman renews his scotch. " I was asleep when it happened, but the Mate on watch says that right at midnight the stars just suddenly changed. The old constellations were gone, and there were new stars in the sky. So we just kept on sailing for a few days until we sighted the shore, and made into this bay. We didn't see much of anything at first, but then this Hotel just materialized out of thin air! Of course we asked Staff here how this was possible, and they said that Management was so good that they could read the minds of new Guests, and conjure up suitable lodgings." He takes a long pull at his drink, eyeing the puzzlement on Wu's face. "Oh, yes..."says the Director "Management."
