In the [[Universe (The Folly of Men)|home universe]] of [[Jenny Cornelius]], a particularly reckless version of [[Jenny Everywhere]] from 1960s [[London]], “Miss Laura Drake” worked in the P.R. office of the [[Intelligence Taskforce]].

When asked how she and Cornelius had met, Laura couldn't exactly recall, explaining that they “must have run into each other at something, early on” and had subsequently “[seen] each other off and on for a while”. Eventually, around 1958, she suggested they go somewhere together out of the blue. After Laura declined “a marathon ride on the Tube”, driving through the countryside in Jenny's [[Mini]], or travelling to “far-away, fantastical lands, wondrous imaginary places only found in the wildest fantasies?

The two then agreed to meet up the next Friday at the [[Piccadilly Circus]] tube station and walk for a while until they found a restaurant that tickled their fancy.
