I can quite sympathise with you in your impatience, but I am forced to tell you that the doctor who has been attending you since the moment you were brought into this house has absolutely forbidden anything of the sort." Mr.Dunster seemed, for a moment, to struggle for composure.
"I am an American citizen," he declared.

"I am willing to listen to the advice of any physician, but so long as I take the risk, I am not bound to follow it.
"In the present case I decline to follow it.

I ask for facilities to leave this house at once." Mr.Fentolin sighed.
"In your own interests," he said calmly, "they will not be granted to you." Mr.Dunster had spoken all the time like a man struggling to preserve his self-control.

There were signs now that his will was ceasing to serve him.

His eyes flashed fire, his voice was raised.
"Will not be granted to me ?" he repeated.
