Extract

The following paper, as its title implies, does no more than make a few observations upon Marlowe's possible life as a Government Agent. In other words, it does not set out to prove any point, for the simple reason that probably we shall never find out anything for certain in the life of Marlowe as a spy, or in the life of any other spy, the doings of such people being, in the nature of the case, “wrop in a mistry.”
