Dedication

To DIANA HESKETH, Sculptor

‘‘The life that I have, is all that I have
and the life that I have is yours.

The love that I have, of the life that I have,
is yours and yours and yours’’^1

when, as a member of SOE, she was an agent in Churchill’s secret army. She
was later shot by the Germans as a spy. Marks, Leo C. (1998)Between Silk and
