"Is this man a secret agent set up by the British Foreign Office in Paris?" Louis pondered this in his mind.
After all, everyone knows just how much the Brits like to plant spies in France. As early as the time of Elizabeth I in the 16th century, the then head of British intelligence, Sir Francis Walsingham, had established nearly 300 intelligence stations in France. Louis believed that this number had only increased in the 300 years since.
Just as Louis was fantasizing about the grand spy drama of British agents meeting in secret, he suddenly felt a shadow cast over his face.
When Louis looked up, he was stunned to discover that the middle-aged man who had been pacing in front of them had stopped and was now standing before them.
It was only at this moment that Louis could finally take a closer look at the man's attire.
