    friends, his interests, it was all in the file. Each new woman the Cheka selected to be Jean’s handler would need to read the file. They needed to know everything about him. Who his former handlers were, what they looked like and what kind of sex and activities he liked. Svetlana had a photographic memory. Even in 1995 she could still recite entries from Jean’s file word for word: “Subject currently loves oral sex. He likes to stick his tongue up my ass. Langham likes me to cry out. Apparently British girls do not scream during orgasm. He likes girls to scream.” Svetlana knew Langham liked Cuban cigars, exceptional Sauternes after dinner and full moons. The last file entry always struck her as notable. She also loved full moons. After the war Jean’s government position ended. It seemed an occupation was required. Americans call this a “job”. Jean took on the personae of an about-town journalist. His best-known pieces were film reviews and left-wing jabs at right-wing buffoons. The moneyed son of an aristocrat had no need of a salary, but he did require a cover for his philandering and political machinations. Jean was flamboyant and an adept self-publicist.

Reverberations and rumblings were heard in Hollywood among the Goldwyn crowd. Jean’s ill-considered review had wiped out the studio’s investment in a star hand picked from the Metropolitan Opera. Notwithstanding Jean had heaped praise on the female lead whom he knew rather too personally, Goldwyn’s anger had been provoked. The MGM lion that could roar had been poked in the eye. Perhaps the powerful entertainment mogul used a fixer to “fix” Jean? Perhaps he was the one who informed to John Wood and directed the House Un-American Activities Committee to sic him? No one knows for sure, well at least not the Russians. During this period when Langham was fond of writing film reviews a change was necessary. Russians could not travel to America. So Jean’s handler needed to be non-Russian. This was risky, but necessary. Yvonne was a twenty-year old blonde French communist recruit. She was the one handler who broke the mould. It was Yvonne who had introduced Jean to Chanel dresses on the fourth floor of Harrods. It was Yvonne who had first tied Jean to the bed with pink satin cords and teased his cock in ways he had never imagined. It was Yvonne who was the first women to insert a dildo up ...
