"Illya will you please steer this gondola better, I can't focus on ..." Napoleon began to complain.

"Firstly, this boat is not the most dirigible and secondly I will not move closer so you can ogle the women strolling along the canal."

"Tsk," Napoleon clicked his tongue in annoyance. "Pretty please with a jumbo order of lasagna, tovarisch."

"Oh, all right." Illya adjusted his steering oar, heading closer to the steps where no doubt his partner would disembark and begin the 'hunt,' for his next encounter of the feminine kind.

As Solo readied to leave, Illya held out his hand. "Money for my lasagna, please. Signor."

Something was wrong, Illya could feel it. Then Napoleon pushed him into cover and pointed up into the clouds. There, electric motors driving almost silent propellers and their colouring blending into the clouds, a fleet of dirigibles, no doubt on a bombing raid on the factories down the hill.

Mr. Waverly knew that the dirigible quality of UNCLE depended, in large part, to his continued presence as Number One, Section One. He knew that he would have to find and groom the perfect replacement for himself if his organization were to continue.
