Miles Away From Home (3112 words)
Sir Miles Hendon, the man who had been the young King's protector, advisor, and dearest friend, sat back in his large soft- cushioned dark red silk brocade winged-back chair, and gazed thoughtfully at the flames in large open marble-framed fireplace, as they swirled around the burning logs.
Miles reached into his coat pocket, and took out his cotton linen laced handkerchief, then wiped the tears that welled in his aged eyes, from his fond reflections of the King whom he had grown to love, and sighed.
Miles turned, and briefly widened his eyes, as he wondered who could be coming to see him, after all these years.
You can use your air miles at hom (628 words)
PEOPLE earn air miles in airlines' frequent flyer programmes when they fly with the airline (or one of its partners), when they use their credit cards, when they hire cars from certain car hire companies and even when they stay in certain hotels.
Air miles are of little use to members of the general public who, for example, earned them by going on a once-in-a-lifetime holiday flight they'd been saving for for years.
If they have sufficient miles they may be tempted to use them on a night in a local hotel once they're home, but there's little point in hiring a car for a day if they have their own car in the garage.
