The Hothouse By the East River
“‘But you failed to find the truth. The records have been falsified. Kiel is here in New York and he’s after me. They always get their revenge.’ Peregrine sips his drink and then turns the glass this way and that, as if he too feels that all this palaver has occurred many times before, many times, like the new spring today blowing in on Manhattan from Long Island Sound, making the dust dance on the pavements.
‘About this show that Pierre and I are planning to put on at the Very Much Club,’ he sa...ys, ‘we don’t have a lot of time to get started if we want the spring audiences; May, June at the latest. But we can’t fail, Mr Hazlett, that’s for sure. It’s right for the spring.’ But Paul is still in the compound of Intelligence buildings in the spring of 1944.
He is twenty-eight. Paul has been back and forward to England since his late school-days, having been sent from Montenegro to his father’s English relatives. He studied in Paris, then London. ‘His intellect has a hundred eyes,’ his mother wrote to her friends.MoreLess
