“A dreary English bore, straight off Brighton pier.‘A man in courier section,’ he said. ‘He was with them in the war. He was rather good.’‘That’s what you always say. They’re all good.

He wants me. You don’t expect me to turn over and go back to sleep, do you?’‘I was only asking,’ Sarah sa...id. ‘You’re always so considerate to Leclerc.’‘Taylor was an old hand. Leclerc’s very worried.’ He could still hear the triumph in Leclerc’s voice: ‘Come at once, get a taxi; we’ll go through the files again.’‘Does this often happen?

It was a way of keeping her from him.MoreLess
