Richard Hannay:
So, what's the story?

Scudder:
[hesitantly] I am a freelance agent for the British Secret Service Bureau.

Richard Hannay:
My housekeeper told me you were an accountant.

Scudder:
I don't make a habit of telling people that I'm a spy. Last night I was supposed to meet someone from the Bureau to exchange information, but it was a double-cross. Obviously I've been betrayed. I've been on the trail of a German espionage ring and I've tracked down their headquarters to a village in Scotland.

Richard Hannay:
[sarcastically] You should contact the Weekly News. They're offering ten pounds to anyone spotting a German agent. An espionage ring could make you a very wealthy man.
