OK. That's plausible. And it was his first visit. Still, while Orczy said (in Marguerite's mind) that Percy and Armand were close, and also noted that both had secrets, Armand's internal thought that Marguerite "might have set her affections on a fool," is problematic, given that Armand was working for the League. Could he have been recruited by a lower-down and not know that Percy was the big cheese? I suppose that's plausible, too, and even makes sense in the same manner that subversive political cells limit contacts. You can't betray someone you don't know.
