Rather against his will, Fabian was allowing Malmy to enlighten him on the subject of short-term loans. \u201cThe whole country, politically and economically, is falling more and more into the hands of foreigners,\u201d he maintained. \u201cA pin prick and the whole thing will blow up.

\u201cBut you never put that in the paper,\u201d said Irrgang.<\/p>\n

\u201cI help to do the wrong thing consistently.
