Not very far away Colonel Grace-Groundling-Marchpole was studying a list submitted to him for approval.

‘Crouchback?’ he said. ‘Haven’t we a file on him?’

‘Yes. The Box-Bender case.’

‘I remember. And the Scottish nationalists.’

‘And the priest in Alexandria. There’s been nothing much on him since.’

‘No. He may have lost contact with his headquarters. It’s just as well we didn’t pull him in at the time. If we let him go to Italy he may lead us into the neo-fascist network.’

‘It won’t be so easy keeping track of him there. The Eighth Army is not security conscious.’

‘No. It’s a moot point. On the whole, perhaps, the noes have it.’

He wrote: This officer cannot be recommended for secret work in Italy, and turned to the name of de Souza.

‘Communist party member of good standing,’ he said. ‘Quite sound at the moment.’
