As i told the judge at my trial - 'no one refuses Dominic Brayne!'
But, on a more serious note, this is a private estate, and one with a reputation as being none too welcoming to visitors. I have used 'friends of friends' and was assured I could visit unmolested. I certainly never saw anyone to challenge me, and thanks to Houdini's map reading located the stone without incident. As for my supermarlet friend - who knows?
The cosmic joker might believe he was placed there as a 'chance encounter', with mischief afoot? I shall however request that Cooper 'firms up' my permission to visit, as I do not believe in trespass, not wishing to have our activities viewed in the light of a public nuisance.
There is a 'St Johns Ambulance' summer camp on the estate, and the templar reference made me chuckle as we drove away.
