Ken took a piece of paper out of his jacket pocket. It was a newspaper article, only a few days old. The report *explained* that relations between the UK and the Middle Eastern emirate were warming. It *said* that the two countries were engaged in dialogue. The journalist *thought* that a bilateral extradition treaty was near. He *asked* whether this would lead to the extradition of Archibald Scott. The reporter also *wondered* if Archibald Scott had been involved in the negotiations and *suggested* that this might give Scott immunity from prosecution. Ken asked himself the same questions. The day after this report had appeared in the newspaper, Ken had received a postcard with a picture of a camel on the front and three words on the back: \u201cAm coming home.\u201d<\/p>\n"},"library":"H5P.MarkTheWords 1.7","subContentId":"4445fdeb-a4be-445e-ad99-1086fd26c391"},"useSeparator":"auto"},{"content":{"params":{"text":"
