Secret Agent Page #2

---

And by the end of the week, what?

A divorce, it looks like.

Are you Mr. Ashenden?

- Guilty.

Darling, you're here at last.

Angel, how well you're looking.

Delicious.

I hope you haven't been lonely.

No. This gentleman and I met in

the lounge yesterday, didn't we?

Yes. A good angel put us

together.

He's been most kind and

entertaining.

Mr. Demartin, isn't it?

Sounds well the way you say it,

but it's really Robert Marvin.

Pleased to meet you Mr. Larkin.

How do you do, Mr. Ashendan?

Well, it's time for the triangle

to retire from family circle.

Exit... battle.

I wasn't expecting you so soon.

Who's our gallant?

- Jealous?

My good girl, there's no need to

play a part now.

Time to tell me who you are,

what your name is...

...and why you're acting as my

wife.

My name's Elsa Clarington. Answer

the other questions yourself.

"You mean that old crazy R has"

loaded you on me?

Yes. As you so elegantly put it.

- Sent you on the same job?

"Yes. R sent me and told me to"

join my husband. Mr. Ashenden.

So here I am, sweetie dear.

How do I know you're the person

you say you are?

Here's my passport.

That's better.

All right, stick them down there.

Anything else?

First, I'd like to see yours.

- Oh, that's better still.

All right. You're my true

and lawful husband.

I have a note for you.

It's in my bedroom.

Our bedroom.

- Mine. You sleep there.

Here it is.

Well, what does it say?

Do you mind if I come in?

If you don't mind my getting on

with today's work.

No, I don't believe.

I had to work it out, it in code.

- I know.

You opened it?

- Of course I did, don't be silly.

The part that concern you says...

I'm making you a married man

to round off you new character.

What else does it say?

Your wife comes a fighting stock.

A regular fighting time factor.

I look to you to direct her in

the right channel.

Be as canuvial as possible.

"Yours, R."

"What does canuvial mean?"

Luxurious.

What does that mean?

Speak English.

Affectionate. In a big way.

So, what do you think of your new

husband?

I'm incredibly surprised.

- Thank you.

I've read your books for so many

years, I thought you were older.

I'm glad about it, that's all.

That's very kind of you.

What do you think of me?

I don't know. I'll tell you when

you finish putting on your face.

Why did you really take this job?

I wanted to do it.

Well, you might have been a nurse

or something.

Me? I'm no ministering Angel.

I'm in Switzerland for a thrill.

- Think I'm gonna give it to you?

No. You're the means to an end.

- The end? Being?

Excitement, Big risks, Danger.

Maybe being a little...

This sort of thing maybe not as

amusing as you think.
