Professor Krugman: "And just what was it that you thought you heard Nelson? It could be significant... as indeed was your reaction. He goes over with him to view the green luggage.

Professor Krugman: "It looks a little dilapidated, and any accommodation will probably be insanitary. But, 'when in Rome...'"

Professor Krugman: "What a curious place! “Naushua Ryokan” they seem to be saying. Any idea what it means?

Professor Krugman tries to fathom the situation. Psycology 1d100=35Target 60%

Professor Krugman: "Even some of we Americans never get use to American brashness. I'm afraid. One last question... this village... Naushau. What sort of a place it it? Anything at all that you might know would be helpful."

Professor Krugman glances at Ted, VERY unsure as to whether or not it was wise to reveal that information.

Professor Krugman: Gentlemen please! I'm not sure it's necessary to speak to the young lady in such uncivilised tones. We need to visit the forest Miss, on a matter of primary research. Myths and Legends, that sort of thing. A lot of taste for it in American academic circles and I'm ready to begin a...

Professor Krugman: I am so glad you asked! Tea of course... erm if you'd be so kind. And then to Jennifer: Now Miss, this forest. Would you know how travelers might reach the place, or how long such a journey would take?

Professor Krugman: Well I'll say! And that was certainly unlike any ride I've experienced in America.

Professor Krugman: Not all Americans are savages you know my dear... Just most of them. (He makes the nearest thing he can to a smile.)

Professor Krugman: A tavern? Oh dear! I thought Japan, if anything was renowned for its TEA... Oh well...

Professor Krugman: Indeed, er, Miss. We are most honoured to make your acquaintance. (He attempts to replicate the polite half-bow.)

Professor Krugman steps forward cautiously to reassure the customs men. He hopes that as a senior academic, his natural authoritative demeanor will impress them.

Professor Krugman: I instructed the petulant fellow at the Agency to make immediate arrangements for us. We should return to him first thing in the morning. He said it might be possible for us to fly to San Francisco. If we need to do that in order to catch the earliest available ship then we should...

Professor Krugman, rereads the letter: Hmm. "The dreamer"? It sounds quite... existential

Professor Krugman: Make the arrangements immediately for us then Mr Krugman. Yes we shall go by air. It may be a matter of life or death. I shall now join my colleagues who are taking dinner next door. We shall return in about an hour to see what progress you have made. He goes to Luigi's to find th...

Professor Krugman: Yes... Please arrange for a passage to Japan for us as soon as possible... and I think, you might do so on the most favourable terms given the bad publicity which may accrue to your agency if the young girl has come to any harm! A freighter you say? Oh dear. Oh well, needs must I ...

Professor Krugman : Did you show no concern for such a young girl expressing the desire to travel alone? Or was there some second person?

Professor Krugman: Yes, yes, the shipping agents. Good idea.
