While C pushed ahead in all directions, we were dress-rehearsing for a show which couldn't find backers. I was luckier than most because I had one pleasurable experience. I was given the opportunity to service the Danes, if providing them with poem-codes could be considered a service. I was asked by Hollingsworth to brief nine agents, including the head of the Danish Resistance. The Danish traffic made clear (and Stockholm's messages confirmed) that a new organization had been formed in Denmark. Its code-name was Table, and Mogens Hammer (the present head of the Resistance) was now called Table Top and his chief of Communications (Duus Hansen) was now Table Napkin. Hammer was unaware that he was about to be replaced by Flemming Muus, who be known as Table Talk. In the first week of March I gave a final code-briefing to Muus, Table Salt, Pepper, Mustard and five other condiments. The new head of Danish Resistance was a large and exceedingly jovial zealot with the knowing eyes and infectious self-confidence of a standup comedian booked to play Hamlet in his home town.
