Lane waited on the bench near the bridge, as he had been ordered. The strong cold wind blew straight across the river, and he had to pull his overcoat closer about him.
He went over his orders in his mind. The spy would appear at four o'clock. He would chat to Lane for a while, then he would get up, leaving his newspaper behind .The plans would be found inside.
A distant clock began to strike the hour. As if from nowhere, a man appeared and sat down beside Lane, placing his newspaper on the seat between them. He was thin and middle-aged, and seemed in need of a good meal. He didn't look like a successful spy, Lane thought. The man's conversation about the weather was painfully uninteresting.
A few minutes later he got up and continued his way. Lane picked the paper which lay on the bench, as if he wanted to look at the news. He was excited to see the plans, stuck to the center page. At that moment, however, there was a strong gust of wind which lifted the newspaper into the air, like a kite, and blew it into the river.
