Summary: A theorem of Harper [\textit{J. F. Harper}, J. Aust. Math. Soc., Ser. B 25, 217-231 (1983; Zbl 0545.76035)] for axially symmetric flow past a sphere which is a stream surface, and is also shear-free, is extended to flow past a double-body consisting of two unequal, orthogonally intersecting spheres. Several illustrative examples are given. An analogue of Faxen's law for a double-body is observed.
