секреты людей, пишувшие на бумаге, аnd, since you asked for an English version, he did not go looking for these secrets, they were just found by him. in English, secrets found by him can be a little different to secrets which he found. To explain myself further, he did not ask the authors of these secrets for money, he just enjoyed knowing what they were getting up to, and he delighted in the challenge of deciphering their codes. It was good excercise for his brain. Laudate dominum.
