His shop was located “on [[Greek Street]] just off [[Old Compton Street|Old Compton]]”. On one occasion, he gave Jenny an exceedingly rare book, ''[[Biggles Goes to Mars]]'', in exchange for her locating a copy of the ''[[Plasmanomicon]]'', which she'd been “over half of creation and a few other places tracking down”, for his personal collection.

Captain Stewart asked for Jenny's help in getting some “[[SBS]] boys” back home safely after they ended up stuck in [[North Korea]]n waters with no way to leave without causing a serious diplomatic incident by revealing their presence.

Despite Laura's initial annoyance, the two then agreed to meet up the next Friday at the Liecester Square Tube station and walk for a while until they found a restaurant that tickled their fancy. | Captain Stewart asked for Jenny's help in getting some “[[SBS]] boys” back home safely after they ended up stuck in [[North Korea]]n waters with no way to leave without causing a serious diplomatic incident by revealing their presence.
