    Summary

    Intimacy. Guy wants intimacy, not sex, and Kim isn't entirely sure how to handle the abrupt realization that he would have gladly provided either.

    Kim opts to join Guy in the guest bed instead of sleeping on the couch after an argument with Aileen. Everything that follows has been a long time coming.

    Written with the Cambridge Spies portrayals in mind, but could probably also be read independent of the particular canon.

    Lying is like alcoholism... you're always recovering.

    A few snapshots of Guy Burgess when outside of his sweet England, namely Washington DC and once he's pulled behind the Iron Curtain.

    Summary

    In memory, the water’s clear as sunlight, almost bright enough to breathe and though off in the dark of his mind he can feel weeds reaching and mud silting his nose, he could hold his breath much better then.

    Contains consideration of suicide and mention of Julian Bell's death.

    Summary

    Summary

    "If one should like to enter into a debate of near poetical and philosophical nature – this is a sanctuary of a certain kind. "

    Guy Burgess reflects on the poetry of a public loo, and fails to pay attention to his surroundings, leading him to his current predicament; restrained by a police officer, against the wall.

    Summary

    Jean-Paul Sartre had been a man who was difficult on the eye, Guy recalls. So difficult that one might have supposed he’d sprung from an Institute of Advanced Education in Birmingham or Hull, not the École Normale. However, he was correct about people — about the general characteristics of other people — and Guy has lived accordingly for the last several years.

    Summary

    Veiled half-truths are the chosen habitat of the spy; Anthony Blunt's reticence was natural, and of far earlier date.
