References
- Vane is actually a supply teacher named Clive. He lives in a bedsit in Kentish Town.
- Clive is a devoted reader of pulp spy fiction; hence, his fantastical alter-ego is a world-class secret agent, employed by the Whitehall wing of a secret British intelligence organisation known to those on the inside, half in jest, as the Crèche. The Commodore, their leader, reveals herself to be a double agent for the Germans.
- In Clive's imagination, given form, Okulov's latest scheme involves infecting his own son with a new, faster-spreading strain of Bubonic plague.
