March 18th?

    “Interesting fellow.”
    “He’s on old, old friend who never gives up.”

    Certainly an interesting fellow from Thorpe’s point of view, if one takes the fictional line that Thorpe is an eventual Number 2. Which is possible if both he and the Colonel are in the pay of The Village, as were the previous Colonel and Forthingay.

  I’m surprised that Number 6 went running back to his old colleagues after his experience during ‘The Chimes of Big Ben,’ as he knew that the Colonel and Fotheringay were in the pay of The Village.’ After all it might well have been those two Number 6 encountered on his return to the office. That brings me to the question, when Number 6 went running back to his ex-colleagues for a second time, how did he know he would encounter this pair, and not the Colonel and Fotheirngay as he did during ‘The Chimes of Big Ben?’ Because there is no way he could have known it would have been a different Colonel and Thorpe, having been prisoner of The Village for the passed few months. So what happened to both the previous Colonel and Fotheringay?

Be seeing you
