It should have been a period of almost perfect peace-the week-end calm, which only a duty officer was allowed to break with an urgent message, and urgent messages were of extreme rarity in the Secret Service-the hour of tea when his wife respected his absence, as she knew that Earl Grey in the afternoons spoilt for him the Cutty Sark at six.
Zorionez, mezu urgenteak oso urriak ziren zerbitzu sekretuetan. Bestalde, lady Hargreavesek ez zuen gaizki hartzen bere senarra te-ordura azaltzen ez bazen, bai baitzekien sir Johnek katilukada bat Earl Grey arratsaldean hartuz gero, seietako Cutty Sark-a hondatuko zitzaiola.
