After an eventful day in English History, Phoebe Farragut asks Bond Junior if he'd like to go with her to witness the grand opening ceremony of the Mile High Sky Scraper in New York. James doesn't want to go with her, but tell her he will knowing that Mr. Millbanks will never allow them to travel anywhere outside of a field trip. However to Bond's surprise Millbank has been placed under direct order by Phoebe's father, the man who helped finance the construction of the building, to make sure she is there to witness the ceremony.
