"Then it must be the very same block he showed me", Frankl said in a whisper; "that thing was worth millions....!" "Undoubtedly it was the same". "Oh, but Lord", groaned the Jew in an anguish of self-deprecation, "where were my eyes? where were my wits? I must have been dreaming! No, that's hard!" "Well nil desperandum! Let us be acting, sir!"
