"Poor loves. Trained to Empire, trained to rule the waves. Englishmen could be proud then, George. They could... All gone."
Sad to hear that Le Carré has passed away. Wonderful writer; had all the mechanics; plot, characters, action and suspense, dialogue and then he would drop in some beautiful insights such as above as Connie Sachs muses on her lost life and her lost boys. Good innings John lad. RIP
