  ‘Something you would never do,’ said Rory drily.

  Fitzroy had the grace to blush slightly. ‘That is not the point.’

  ‘What will happen now?’ I asked.

  ‘They will send cleaners into the farm. It will be tidied up. Dreadful accident or some such thing. You will all return to your respective homes and I will be taken back to be debriefed for hours, days, perhaps even weeks.’

  ‘What was this all about?’ asked Bertram.

  ‘Same thing that Scotland was about,’ said Fitzroy. ‘They wanted to know if the plans were going ahead.’ He looked over at Rory. ‘Incidentally, they are not, but that’s a state secret. We are going to build extra dreadnoughts instead.’

  ‘To where shall I return your letters?’ I asked.

  Fitzroy grinned. ‘Keep them,’ he said. ‘For next time.’

  Wounded as he was I threw a pillow at his head.

  ‘No,’ I said, ‘never again.’

  ‘Ah, Euphemia,’ said the spy, ‘you know you loved it.’
