There wouldn't be any trouble about it if it was only me. That would make it easy. They could land me for two years (swallowing painfully) or twenty. What makes it so hard is that I can't do what they want, even to let you and Ivanoff out. It ain't my money. All I can do is to ask you to forgive me, and warn you to get away before they come down on me. This feller's got me, Doc. Don't you see how it stands? Ivanoff can't get away-- (VASILI: No; I think he can't.) They've got this militia all around the place. (VASILI: I passed through the cordon of carabiniere as I came in.) (urgently). But you could get away, Doc. Up to ten o'clock you can come and go as you choose. VASILI (rising). So can you. You have not thought of that?
