The Colonel ask Ashenden a good many questions and then suggested that he had particular qualifications for the Secret Service.

I'll tell you an incident that occurred only recently. Very dramatic. A foreign government minister went down to a Mediterranean resort to fecover from a cold and he had some very important documents with him that he kept in a despatchcase."A day or two after he arrived, he picked up a blonde at some restaurant or other, and he got very friendly with her.

They had one or two drinks up in his room and his theory is that when his back was turned the woman slipped a drug in his glass.""Do you mean to say that happened the other day?"said Ashenden wearily."The week before last.""Impossible,"cried Ashenden. "Why, we've been putting that incident on the stage for sixty years, we've written it in a thousand novels. Do you mean to say that life has only just caught up with us?""Well, I can vouch for the truth of the story." said the Colonel, "And believe me, the government concerned has been put to no end of trouble by the loss of the documents.""Well sir, if you can't do better than that in the Secret Service," sighed Ashenden, "that I'm afraid that as a source of inspiration to the writer of fiction, it's washout."
