Book - The Spy and the Traitor - 22
Summary no. 22
This is a true story.
MI6 agent Bromhead had been instructed to get close to and recruit Oleg Gordievsky, a KGB agent. Bromhead tried to sound out Gordievsky at several diplomatic parties in Copenhagen (both of them were under diplomatic covers), but the only conversation they had was about art. Oleg proved to be a difficult target. MI6 arranged another plan. They had Standa Kaplan, a Czech defector and friend of Oleg’s, turn up at Oleg’s flat in Copenhagen to arrange a lunch for next day. At first, Oleg couldn’t put his finger on this unexpected visit of Standa. Standa shouldn't even be in Europe, let alone in Oleg's flat. However, by the time Standa left, Oleg knew what Standa was up to. Someone had sent Standa to assess Oleg. But who? At lunch next day, Standa broached two sensitive subjects: his defection to Canada via France and the Prague Spring in 1968. Oleg trod carefully, trying not to commit to anything while having a sympathetic facade. On one hand, Oleg didn't want to scare MI6 and Standa off for good. On the other hand, he definitely didn't want the KGB suspecting him to harbour thoughts of defecting.

Thanks. Harbour is the British spelling. It's a pattern in English. In B.E many words end in "our", whereas in NA. English those words end in "or". For example "colour" and "color"
