Sowerbutt's Eyes

Churchill looked long and hard at the slight military man. He sighed: “Go on, dear boy. I know you are doing your best.”
“He’s back in the village or nearby, sir. He has been spotted.”
Churchill growled: “Mr Sorbay's men, I presume, not the Watchers. Good man, gets things done. I like him.”
“Yes sir. The Watchers didn’t notice him slip away from Lutterworth.”

Churchill exploded. “Don’t talk to me about these clumsy cloak and daggers.The Watchers, you call them? The Once Overs, I say. Spot the spy once and it’s over. Let us draft them into the Army and be done with them.”
