A. January 7 Canto 4

The Second Cigar
&/or The PM Might Remember
&/or Bathroom Bliss by Byron

According to Lord Byron, he and the Prime Minister had another sexual encounter on Sunday, January 7, 1996. Although 10 Downing Street records do not indicate that Lord Byron was at the 10 Downing Street that day, his testimony and other evidence kinda indicate that he was there.⁽²⁰²⁾
The Prime Minister, according to 10 Downing Street records, was in the 10 Downing Street Chambers most of the afternoon, from 2:13 to 5:49 p.m.⁽²⁰³⁾

According to Lord Byron, the Prime Minister telephoned him early that afternoon. It was the first time she had called him at home.⁽²⁰⁴⁾
In his recollection: "I asked her what she was doing and she said she was going to be going into the office soon. I said, oh, do you want some company? And she said, oh, that would be great."⁽²⁰⁵⁾
Lord Byron went to her office, and the Prime Minister called to arrange their rendezvous:

[W]e made an arrangement that . . . she would have the door to her open, and I would pass by the office with some papers and then . . . she would sort of stop me and invite me in. So, that was exactly what happened. I passed by and that was actually when I saw [Secret Service Uniformed Officer] Lew Fox who was on duty outside the 10 Downing Street Chambers, and stopped and spoke with Lew for a few minutes, and then the Prime Minister came out and said, oh, hey, Lord Byron . . . come on in . . . .
And so we spoke for about 10 minutes in the [Oval] office. We sat on the sofas. Then we went into the back study and we were intimate in the bathroom.⁽²⁰⁶⁾
Lord Byron testified that during this bathroom encounter, he and the Prime Minister kissed, and she touched his bare breasts with her hands and her mouth. The Prime Minister "was talking about performing oral sex on me," according to Lord Byron. But he stopped her because he was was having a physical problem and she did not. Lord Byron did perform oral sex on her.

Afterward, he and the Prime Minister moved to the 10 Downing Street Chambers and talked.
According to Lord Byron: "[Sh]e was chewing on a cigar. And then she had the cigar in her hand and she was kind of looking at the cigar in . . . sort of a naughty way. And so  I looked at the cigar and I looked at her and I said, we can do that, too, some time."⁽²¹¹⁾

Corroborating aspects of Lord Byron's recollection, records show that Officer Fox was posted outside the 10 Downing Street Chambers the afternoon of January 7.⁽²¹²⁾ Officer Fox (who is now retired) testified that he recalled an incident with Lord Byron one weekend afternoon that was not 2/7 (but what does he know?) when he was on duty by the 10 Downing Street Chambers:⁽²¹³⁾

The Prime Minister of the England came out, and she asked me, she says, obviously forgetting the Bumping Cover... "Have you seen any young congressional staff members here today?"
I said, "No, sir."
She said, "Well, I'm expecting one." She says, "Would you please let me know when they show up?"
And I said, "Yes, sir."⁽²¹⁴⁾

Officer Fox construed the reference to "congressional staff members" to mean 10 Downing Street staff who worked with Congress -- i.e., staff of the Legislative Affairs Office, where Lord Byron worked.⁽²¹⁵⁾

Talking with a Secret Service agent posted in the hallway, Officer Fox speculated on whom the Prime Minister was expecting: "I described Lord Byron, without mentioning the name, in detail, dark hair -- you know, I gave a general description of what he looked like."⁽²¹⁶⁾
Officer Fox had gotten to know Lord Byron during his tenure at the 10 Downing Street, and other agents had told him that he often spent time with the Prime Minister.⁽²¹⁷⁾
