	Beignet introduces himself to one and all as Dion, an anti-Napoleonic rabble rouser. The talk is all about class oppression, the unfair fate of the working man, the fat growing rich off the misery of the poor. What does anyone think of the upcoming reception with the Bonaparte nephews arriving up the Thames in an airship? Opinions fly around the room. The theme is rancorous, the emotions bitter. Napoleon left a lot of burnt bridges in his wake and the fact that England is hosting descendants of his is a very sore point with the patrons. The Princess bartender is cut to the quick over the loss of her ancestral home and the ogre busboy she has working for her comforts her—he’s very devoted to her.<br><br>		Beignet introduces himself to one and all as Dion, an anti-Napoleonic rabble rouser.
