The Secretary of the Examinations Board arranges for McLeery to oversee Evans’s exam. Although he’s initially surprised by the Governor’s request to have a prisoner sit for an O-level German exam, the Secretary is happy to oblige. The Secretary is warm and friendly; despite the peculiarity of the request, he thinks they should give Evans “a chance,” and he laughs “politely” and “good-naturedly” throughout his conversation with the Governor. Since the Governor is the one to contact the Examinations Board in the first place, it seems that the Secretary is a real employee of the Examinations Board and not one of Evans’s accomplices, though one of Evans’s “friends” later poses as the Assistant Secretary.
