Emma and Harry travel to STANFORD University, so that Emma can receive her business degree (diploma), summa cum laude. After the ceremony they have dinner with Cyrus Feldman who can’t take his eyes off Emma. Harry agrees with Emma’s suggestion that they should fly to England straight after the ceremony. They come home to find Jessica waiting on the top step and no Sebastian. Harry phones Dr Banks-Williams and learns that Sebastian has been rusticated and sent home, and that he has committed several offences. Jessica is inconsolable, but Emma is bearing up well. Harry gets in touch with Giles who says they are expected for a meeting with sir Alan Redmayne. At the meeting in Downing street they get to know some details about Pedro Martinez, who turns out to be an international crook (мошенник). The government has been keeping their eye on him for a long time. Sebastian happens to have been sucked into Martinez’s net. According to their plan Harry is to fly to Buenos Aires incognito and to find out what Martinez is up to. In the plane Clifton reads Martinez’s file and his whole life full of petty crime at the beginning and serious offences like smuggling money in front of Harry’s eyes. In Buenos Aires Harry meets the British Ambassador to carry out a course of action and warn Sebastian. It turns out that the Embassy is getting ready for HRH Princess Margaret‘s visit to Argentina, Martinez is invited together with Sebastian. Harry and his son’s meeting goes off well. Now Harry can go back to England, but unfortunately one of the passengers recognizes him. Harry is afraid that that loudmouth will be running around town telling everyone, ‘I’ve just seen Harry Clifton posing as a BOAC pilot.’
