secret service

noun secret services

  1. A governmental agency that deals with espionage and other acts of secrecy. True, we have people of the fifth column, and, unfortunately, the sixth column, with us; they have them in every country; but so far in this war the British diplomatic and secret service has not been so successful as that clever, astute brute-man Hitler and his agents.
