: The Double Traitor by Oppenheim E Phillips Edward Phillips - Spy stories@FreeBooksTue 06 Jun, 2023 
THE DOUBLE TRAITOR BY E. PHILLIPS OPPENHEIM The woman leaned across the table towards her companion. "My friend," she said, "when we first met--I am ashamed, considering that I dine alone with you to-night, to reflect how short a time ago--you spoke of your removal here from Paris very much as though it were a veritable exile. I told you then that there might be surprises in store for you. This restaurant, for instance! We both know our Paris, yet do we lack anything here which you find at the Ritz or Giro's?" "Germany has changed very much since I was here as a boy," he confessed. "One has heard of the growing wealth of Berlin, but I must say that I scarcely expected--" He hesitated. His companion laughed softly at his embarrassment. "Do not forget," she interrupted, "that I am Austrian--Austrian, that is to say, with much English in my blood. What you say about Germans does not greatly concern me." The woman leaned her head for a moment against the tips of her slim and beautifully cared for fingers. She looked steadfastly across the table at her vis-?-vis. "Now that you are here," she said softly, "you must forget those things. You are a diplomatist, and it is for you, is it not, outwardly, at any rate, to see only the good of the country in which your work lies." Norgate flushed very slightly. His companion's words had savoured almost of a reproof. "You are quite right," he admitted. "I have been here for a month, though, and you are the first person to whom I have spoken like this. And you yourself," he pointed out, "encouraged me, did you not, when you insisted upon your Austro-English nationality?" "You must not take me too seriously," she begged, smiling. "I spoke foolishly, perhaps, but only for your good. You see, Mr. Francis Norgate, I am just a little interested in you and your career."
