I believe I´ll have time to unpack them too." The tone was almost too casual. "O. K. We mustn´t disappoint Crandall, if we can help it." He went back upstairs. Chuck emerged from his hiding place. "Good work," he said. Joe spoke slowly: "Chuck, when I was in a mighty tight place -" "I saved your life. Didn´t I?" "Maybe you did. I dunno. Afterward, you like to have got me courtmartialled." Chuck laughed. "Oh, that!" "I just want to say: I dunno what you´ve done this time. I don´t want to know. Whatever it is though, I won´t be mixed up in it. I´ll tell you that right now. But we were buddies and -" "Atta boy!" Chuck dismissed everything else with a gesture. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
