Synousis otf QOpening Chapters Carol Gilroy, a viewer employed by the Lowood Tractor Corporation, falls in love with Giles Moreton, a young inspector in the Tanks‘ Gears Department. Moreton is a mystery man. It is rumoured that he was a Spitfire pilot during the Batle of Britain, being invalided out of the R.A.F. the day shift are involved. Baines, the inspector, is killed. At the instigation of ; "Ratty" Helme, a progress clerk, Moreton is accused of having brought explosives into the works. At the subsequent in quiry conducted. by Captain Calâ€" throp. a Security officer, he clears himself. He also reveals that h2 knows sabotage is occurring in the works, and implicatesâ€"indirectlyâ€" the machineâ€"shop â€" superintendent, Hector Flanagan, as well as Flanaâ€" gan‘s toady, Helme. Yet he produces no direct evidence. By a trick, Moreton secures the passâ€"cards of these two men. They are held in the policeâ€"box at the gates. Calthrop having given orders that no one, at any time, however wellâ€"known or important, must be allowed entry unless a pass is shown. Moreton suggests to Calthrop that now is the opportunity for the Seâ€" curity officer to search Flanagan‘s office and Helme‘s locker, in an atâ€" tempt to secure that necessary evidence. Moreton â€" takes Carol dancing, making an arrangement with Capâ€" tain CaltHMrop for a meeting at the Royal George Hotel, later in thg evening. It is tacitly understood beâ€" tween the men that the officer will disclose whether he has had any success in his search. Captain Calthrop dances with Lady Hardisty, the wife of the General in commnd of the ‘Hellersfield area The lady notices Moreton. At once she stops dancing, and with Calthrop, goes to the General. She alleges that she recognizes ©Moreton" as a German prisoner who escaped from a camp in what was once her husbhand‘s arca. The man was never reâ€"captured. Lady Hardlay says that he s Karl Eidenhausen, a Luftwaffe pilot, who was brought down during the Battle of Britain. The General sets out to investigate his wife‘s astonishing claim.

"However, remember what I said, go warlly!~ It was a very subdued Lady Hardisty whom Captain Calthrop escorted back to her party. When he joined the General again, in that alcove of the bufet, his Iace was flushed and he breathed violently. "Hello, Calthropâ€"now what‘s gone wrong?" "Sir|l Iâ€"â€"I must tell you. After I left Lady Hardisty, this fellow spoke to me in German as I passed his table. Andâ€" and he gave me a message for you!" "The devil he did!" Hardisty sat bolt upright. His jaw dropped, slightly. "I say, this grows interesting! Spoke to you in Germanâ€"hey?" "Yes, sirl He said, quite distinctly, ‘Here Kapltan.

Believe me, I‘m pretty thickâ€"skinned!" Calthrop tried to evade those grimlyâ€" twinkling eyes, but could not. Like the ripping away of a hardened poultice, he wincced and got his precious mesâ€" sage off his chest. "The fellow cupped his hands around his mouth, sir, and gave a perfect imiâ€" tation ofâ€"of that comic radio spy. He said, ‘Giff Albert mein kind regards and tell him die vernugungsreise iss fery bleasant.‘ " Majorâ€"General Sir Albort Hardisty was still laughlng as hc called for the drinks. 4 "Gad! This licks cockâ€"fighting! So he finds. his little pleasureâ€"trip very pleasant, does he?" He smacked his knee. "Calthrop, if that young man doesn‘t eat buuets for breakfast, someâ€" day soon, hé‘s going to have a most dis= tinguished. future!". "«Giles! I wish you‘d tell meâ€"what did that cxtraordinary message mcean? Some of it was German, wasn‘t it?" Moreton serenely nodded his head. "Oh, Captain Calthrop looked furious! Wh)â€"â€"why is he suddcnly so distant and cold?" ly drawled "he‘ll come round. Fact of the matter is, Carol, that Calthrop‘s been rushed into a Job a bit beyond his present capabilities." 2 es A w p _ "I say, Carol, it‘s too rich to keep to myself! What sense of homour he‘s got I don‘t know, but I‘ll bet it‘s gone with the wind at this blessed moment!" "Why?" "I sent that message in such a way that he was simply bound to deliver it, exactly as T spoke it. And it‘s gone to a hardâ€"boliled Gencral, before whose tread a whole division has been known to quake!" . "Oh, Gilesâ€"what a shame!" "Not a bit of it. Serve him jolly well right!"

"The whole conâ€" tretemps arose from the fact that the present Lady Hardisty is the General‘s second wife. She had never met me as â€"as Giles Moreton.
