Last week a pontifical commission gave this elite corps a much-needed streamlining. Recruits were growing hard to find, and there was a rumble of discontent in the ranks...

An Austrian railroad executive and his wife hire her as a maid, and she does so well that they want to adopt her. Ironically, doctors find Eva "a perfect specimen of the Aryan race." (Author Levin seems to have a fix on naked physical strip-downs ; the book offers at least three.) But adoption would mean discovery of Eva's false documents, and so she breaks out of the snug roundhouse and into an office...
