Following Philby’s instructions, they lingered over breakfast until they were the last passengers to leave the boat.

‘What now?’ asked Maclean.

‘Paris train presumably,’ said Burgess.

The Doctor shook his head. ‘Philby felt that news of your departure might be out by now. In which case MI6 might be meeting the Paris train. He said there would be a taxi waiting for you. A very special taxi.’

And there it was waiting on the quayside. The Doctor went up to the rotund, lugubriously moustached driver.

‘Monsieur Gaston?’

‘Oui. Monsieur le Docteur?’

‘Oui. Voici vos passagers.’

And that was it, really. Guy Burgess and Donald Maclean said polite farewells and got in. The taxi drove away, on the first stage of the long journey to Moscow.

With an enormous sense of relief, the Doctor watched it disappear out of sight. Then he went to ask about the first boat back to England.

Early that afternoon he was back in London. There was nothing in the papers about the missing diplomats. Either the news wasn’t out yet, or the government was keeping it quiet.

By six o’clock that evening, the Doctor was on a plane to Washington.
