Later； when the body had been removed； calls made to London and Washington； and police and other authorities were satisfied； Bond and Percy drove into Corfu Town itself； to spend the night in one of the larger hotels。
〃Well； at least that settles it。 We should both know now； Percy began。
〃Know？〃 They had managed to get a meal of sorts in their room； though Bond found it hard to relax。
〃The future； James。 We should both know about the future after that unpleasant episode。〃
〃You mean that until Blofeld's successor is dead； neither of us will have peace？〃
〃That's part of it。 Not all； though。〃 She paused to sip her wine。 〃I killed； James； automatically and 。
〃And most efficiently； darling。〃
〃Yes； that's what I mean。 We're not like other people； are we？ We're trained； and tidied； and obey orders fly into danger at a moment's notice。〃 Bond thought for a moment。 〃You're right； of course； darling。 What you mean is that people like us can't just stop； or lead normal lives。〃
〃That's it； my dear James。 It's been the best time。 The very best。 But。。
〃But now it's over。
She nodded； and he leaned across the table to kiss her。
〃Who knows？〃 Bond asked of nobody in particular。
The next morning they rebooked tickets； and Bond saw her off' watching her aeroplane climb over the little hillock at the end of the runway； then turn to set course for Athens； where she would make her connection for Paris。
In an hour； he would be on his way back to London and one of his other lives； to play some other role for his country。
