Kurz's mouth twisted itself into a distorted grin.
"I do not blame you for ridiculing me, Charlie. I always thought I knew everything. Later—; you will see."
"Why not tell me now?"
"No—no—!" Kurz's voice whined frantically. "I do not know if you yourself understand."
"I was only trying to help you, old chap."
"Help—! It is that I want. It is that which brought me here. It is because I must have you help me."
"You've only to say what you want."
"Your help—"
"You know I'll do whatever I can for you."
