Summary: New Year's Eve Party
The Story:

The ballroom and adjacent areas are decked out for the party starting at eight o'clock sharp, meticulously planned and executed, glittering décor to match the no doubt glittering attire as music pours into the halls from the dance floor.

Bars flank each side, service for all manner of alcohol unless a minor requests something, and the primary setting stage features an enormous clock for the countdown. ]




[ Where will you be when the clock strikes midnight? ]

but she can start somewhere at least. so, with a nod of her head, she offers: ]

I liaised with the American forces on behalf of the British. Starting in 1940, although I'd already been involved in the war effort at the time. [ a beat. ] And I'll answer as much as I can. I'm afraid I'm not quite at liberty to say just anything.

[ it's a wink as much as it is anything else. a hint, a suggestion, a lantern in the window. peggy has all sorts of practice working around the official secrets act. ]
