Famine (2014)
“Her steady nerve and quite remarkable composure at times of danger made her exactly the stuff of which Z5 agents were made. But he did not trust her yet. As the thought entered his head, he changed it; he could not trust her yet. Circumstances might arise in which he would have to, but until they did he would need to be very wary. Even if she passed the intensive screening which had already been put in hand, he might trust only after a period of trial. Yet the clarity of her blue eyes, the fran...kness of her manner, the wholesomeness which was so evident, made him want to trust her now. He recalled the French expression: “Good as bread”. It suited her perfectly.
Quietly, she asked : “You don’t trust me, do you?”
“Not in the way I would have to,” Palfrey said.
“You’ve simply forgotten how to trust,” she accused.
There was a great deal of truth in that.
