And if you’ve never read Flashman before, get ready for a great treat.

They’re all good stories, and they all need a master spy to make it work.

Also, I don’t understand the title, were there other spies trying to get the treaty documents as well? Not really spying as the inside source already had access to the information, he merely passed it on to unauthorized sources.
Would have been more interesting if Blowitz had somehow gotten into the building himself and stolen the documents, that’s what spies are supposed to do (I think). :P
Again, great article.

I gave up after re-reading one sentence in the first paragraph four times. And I still don’t understand that sentence…”

What are you referring to?
