oh and petrol nell had been wearing a faux fur at the time, hadn't she? US intelligence were to laugh at that one...along the lines of "would you let anybody into your home, wearing that?"...you mean along the lines of 'would you believe that they were a local doctor, wearing that'....? to then check back...to realise that she had actually picked it up in that head of station's bedroom...something that belonged to a wife or girlfriend perhaps?

"all in the line of duty" replies MI5 ONLINE...you mean, he used to wear it now and then? he didn't use that house much, did he? he wasn't there that often...oh I see - it had been one of ling's items...part of her wardrobe.
