    1. to lie

      Barnes using Wotton? --- I find here the same ambiguity as in my previous comment about Julian Barnes's book where he writes "Lying in bed" as a double sense. Could it be that Wotton saw diplomats as honest persons who are "simply there"? Just a mere presence in another country (no action, no telling the truth) as a tool to achieve the good of their country?
