It wasn’t as though Llewellyn didn’t have a vague knowledge of spies, anyway. One tended to pop up to get in the way of, or mixed up in, Murdoch’s cases on almost a yearly basis as it seemed back in his world.

The detective also like to have experts to refer to. He wasn’t so proud as to assume he knew everything, as some people were. “Well, I’ll have to remember that. In a place like this... I expect I’ll need more than a little help depending on what kind of things get brought to my attention. Starting nearly from scratch is a bit... worrying at times.” And, for once in his life, Llewellyn had a reason to at least try to be a little more careful.
