the A.F.R. logs the white-wig man
this was an eccentrically dressed and extremely irritating without-home man of the streets in a white wig appropriated with large bags filled of foreign cookware and extremely small-in-size ladies’ undergarments
Context
Real operatives log the amateur's disguise. The A.F.R., having acquired test-subjects for Broullîme's viewer-willingness experiments, catalogues one as a "without-home man of the streets in a white wig" — a Lenz-type figure whose fake disguise means nothing to the professionals who now own him, reduced to a data-point (and "marring the statistics" by pushing severed digits under the storage-room door). The novel's running joke sharpened to a point: the fake spy filed as an inventory item by the genuine ones, his white wig no more concealment than a label.
