Bogambara Jail is an unusual location for our much travelled prince. But there he was, paying a thoughtful visit to the incarcerated greens accused of gunfire and explosions. Ah! said the portly one- "How are Rambo Hadjiar and the green eagle?"

Prison authorities informed him that members of parliament were encouraged to visit gaols and comment on conditions. Indeed? I can report that my mother's and sister's photographs are properly hung!

While taking leave of his less fortunate colleagues, prisoners noticed the first family presence. A dozen quickly became a hundred. A friendly wave from the genial Bunter brought a cheery response. Anxious jailors hurried him out but not before a quip-hope the crowd outside (he was enroute to a rally) is as enthusiastic as that inside!
