NO ONE ASKED
Blanche ordered tea and toast, and I chose the all-day breakfast, and after we had finished, neither of us said anything.
"Now, what are we going to do?" Blanche says, dabbing her lips with a paper napkin.
"Whoever is carrying out the assassinations is operating in plain sight," I say, "I haven't got to be George Smiley to work that one out."
"Who?" she looks at me, puzzled.
"George Smiley," I repeat, "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy?"
Blanche shakes her head, "Nope, sorry. Never heard of it."
