...conceivably have been able to line up support from other Rumanian parties for a coalition Cabinet. It was even possible that the Rumanian Nazis (who are said to shake down Mme Lupescu for such large sums-by threatening to assassinate her-that she has ironically been called their biggest backer) might team up in coalition with His Majesty's Government.

S. lecturers, arrange speaking dates, collect from local committees, are a tightly-knit, secretive, high-pressure group of Manhattan agents who have field representatives scattered throughout the U.
