The Glory Boys
“Lost her bloody cat, most likely, thought Davies. He gave the dog's lead a slight pull, and the alsatian was up off its haunches. They went together to his van.
He had told Doris, but only half-heartedly, that he wasn't that keen on her living in the commune, and she had dismissed it - told him it was a damned sight more interesting than driving round with a dog for company.
But he'd see her on Monday when she came out of the half-world that she'd infiltrated, when she came out to file her twic...e-weekly report.

For years it was successful, and the Security Service remained shrouded in mystery, with its operators able to congratu-late themselves that they had found a near-divine formula for the working of the department.MoreLess
