Susan,
Apologies for disputing one of your answers, but No1 ........

Is it definitely George Smiley?
On reading the question first time round I thought that it definitely wasn't George Smiley.
My initial thoughts were,and I'm only pulling this name from memory, Leman, or something similar..........?

Please enlighten me, as my literature knowledge is fading fast the older I get.

Regards

Ada.
