i had a german nurse , and she told me all of them . '' i can almost hear his brain struggling to process the words as i speak to him . it was as if every problem had disappeared in one day . and for that matter , he wondered why he even had blood at all . ill admit the nurse was quite striking , but she looked strangely familiar . she 'd remained at hector 's side , either clasping his hand or with his arm about her waist . and the devil is there any new intelligence about him ?
