Continued from yesterday.

At last all the puzzles had been solved. The difficulties of the American Constitution, Roosevelt’s health, and Stalin’s obduracy, the complications of a journey to Basra and the Trans-Persian railway, were all swept away by the inexorable need of a triple meeting, and the failure of every other alternative but a flight to Teheran. So we sailed off into the air from Cairo at crack of dawn on November 27 in perfect weather for the long-sought meeting-place, and arrived safely by different routes at different times.
