"But it'll appear to be of a high grade, so she will have to pass it on quickly." "By midday on Monday, our agents will have decoded enemy traffic from the weekend." "So if the false information is among the batches sent from London, we shall know for sure." "If you are right, Max, the information won't appear on the transcripts, and all this will be forgotten." "But if it is proven that your wife is a spy," "routine procedures in cases of intimate betrayal will apply."
