If you think we should just hold tight, that's what we'll do." "All right. I think we'd better. Have them notify Jack to signal for a hospital ship. We'll just try to stick it out." Tiger left to pass the word, and Dal went back into the operating room. Suddenly he felt as if a great weight had been lifted from his shoulders.

Quando sto dal Sign. Wider e guardando fuori della finestra vedo la casa dove lei abito quando lei fu in Venezia. Il nuovo non so niente. Venezia mi piace assai.
