Can you get someone who can be completely trusted. "Yes." "If you can , get someone who means a lot to him, it will help. The will to live is very important in a borderline case, like this." "I'll get his fiancee," said Ian quietly. "She is devoted to him and she's uncommon, level-headed." "Get her here around noon," snapped the doctor as he threw fore the fireplace.-- Twice his eyes mechanically read a sheet of paper that had lain on the desk, but not one word of the scrawled message registered in his brain.

Having deliberately forced his nerves into obedience, Ian put the letter away and prepared his cam paign with the all-forseeing delib eration of a retreating general who plans one final battle in which he risks everything a battle which will end in triumph or in an utter annihilation. Ian spent a sleepless night of pondering and listening to the low murmur of voices in the bedroom Leonard was very low, Doctor Crane said towards dawn. Ian, with convincing carelessness informed the man who usually car ed for the apartment that Mr. Holt was sleeping. Also that he could have the next two days off as he and Mr. Holt would both away.
