Donovan ignored the advice of the creator of James Bond, Author Ian Fleming, who as a British naval intelligence officer in 1941 described the ideal spy as middleaged, sober, discreet and experienced.

Just in case you didn't get it, in "The Journal of the Leper," the leprous creature is no longer loved by his woman once he is cured.
