The confusion too much present still, the people too odd, the drinks too few, the music too non-existent and his cigarettes too sparse and therefore too sacred to be smoked in the usual one-after-an-other manner. This party was not one of the sort that Guy Burgess was used to. And to add to the unusualness, he had now chosen a quiet spot to simply

Elizabeth was currently overwhelmed, much like everyone else. She was preoccupied with thoughts of her newly arrived sister, the hurricane, and the well-being of the ones that she cared for on the island. She just hoped that everyone was safe. Jane was sleeping, so Elizabeth decided to search the Compound, and possibly find Mr. Ford or any other familiar faces. One familiar face she had not expected to find was Mr. Collins. Needless to say, Elizabeth was shocked. She would have certainly noticed him upon his arrival here, so he must have been relatively new.

"Mr. Collins?" Elizabeth said, approaching him. "Have you just newly arrived?" Even though she had a strong disliking for the man, she still felt terrible that he had arrived amidst the chaos.

Guy turned from his stare to nowhere in particular to meet eyes with the female voice who had just spoken to him. She had a Victorian air to her, both in appearance and in speech. And she was clearly mistaking him for someone else. “Guy Burgess, actually. But yes, I have just arrived. And you are?”

"Elizabeth Bennet," she said. "My apologies. It is just that you bear a rather striking resemblance to an acquaintance of mine from back home." A rather ridiculous one, at that. She was not sad at all to find that he was not Mr. Collins, but she did feel it would add to the strangeness of the island, to have a Mr. Collins look-alike roaming about. She would make sure to tell Jane of him later on.

Guy laughed. Clearly this was a joke. Maybe Kim Philby was around. He always did have an odd sense of humour. It would be very much like him to ask some girl to pretend to be Elizabeth Bennet telling him he looked like Mr.Collins. Strange sense of humour, but amusing. “I daresay I am not Mr. Collins, Lizzy dear.” He said, playing along with the obvious joke.

In the poor light, she thinks he's Alan at first. Rosa told herself she wouldn't search for him, that she doesn't care what happens to him, but she lies to herself a lot these days.

"Alan?"

The possibility that he might just vanish one day, the way Eddie's brother had, is preying on her mind.

Confusion seemed to be the key in this place. Again he was mistaken for someone - this time someone he didn't even faintly know of. He didn't have that much of a common face, did he?

“What? No. Guy Burgess. And you are?”

"I'm sorry. The light is bad."

There's only a passing resemblance after all. It's just as well.

"Rosa Shore."

"Guy Burgess." He streched out a hand. "You wouldn't happen to have anything to drink on you, would you?" He asked. One might as well.
