Considering this was 1956, I would imagine “secret reasons” was used where we would use “personal reasons” today.
Or Mr. White was drunk.

Would this be E. B. White, author of Charlotte’s Web?
Syn_Attck@lemmy.today 8 months ago
Mayhaps. It would make sense.
James Thurber described White as a quiet man who disliked publicity and who, during his time at The New Yorker, would slip out of his office via the fire escape to a nearby branch of Schrafft’s to avoid visitors he didn’t know

Are you kidding? That would be awful. “Sorry I can’t come to the party, I’m doing spy stu-- I mean, I already made plans. Yeah…” A real Johnny English over here.

I used this line when cancelling with my ISP. The chat agent didn’t get the reference but responded with an “oh my” (or equivalent, I don’t really remember the details).
