A few months later I read in the paper that Bertie Boyer had been given five years hard labour for arson and attempted murder.
I lost touch with Gertie, but then, just after Christmas, a card arrived. We were invited to her wedding to one Mircea Petrescu, and I guessed she had hooked up with one of the Romanian moustaches.
As for me, I went back to spying through keyholes and turning over people’s dirty laundry. Well, it’s a job, and someone has to do it.
