I reread this John Buchan short story, as my wife is staging
it as a play.
What hit me is how spycraft is mainly about confidence in what
you know to be true. If you don’t trust
your view of things, you’ll get played by the other side. That's a SPIRITUAL lesson, people.
It’s a fast-moving flip from one scene to the next. The main character Hannay changes identities
as quickly and deftly. Written between
the world wars, it is instructive in its “out of date-ness.”
Recommended reading.
