"Good Lord, I had to!" said Christophe. "You would never have come to me?"
"You think not?" replied Olivier.
Then, quickly:
"Yes, you are right. But it would not be for want of thinking of it."
"What would have stopped you?"
"Wanting to too much."
"That's a fine reason!"
"Yes. Don't laugh. I was afraid you would not want it as much as I."
"A lot that's worried me! I wanted to see you, and here I am. If it bores you, I shall know at once."
"You will have to have good eyes."
