The Honourable Schoolboy
question
Two questions

1) did Smiley order Fawn to kill Westerby, or does it just follow out of animosity?
2) did Enderby give up Operation Dolphin to the "cousins?"
Great book. Thanks.

1 -- I think Smiley did order Fawn to kill Jerry. I think Smiley concluded that Jerry would be killed in action on the island by the Cousins, so he might as well have Fawn do it to ensure the conclusion of the mission.
2 -- It sure looks like Enderby gave it to the Cousins. Guillam certainly thinks he did, and late in the book Guillam reckons that George knows this, although it's never directly discussed between them.
