[That's why he had surged in, to broker that deal with Will. The social contract. He wondered if Will had misunderstood his intent and the implication of what Chilton had already known, or if he was being obnoxious on purpose. The latter, likely -- it wasn't as if Chilton had been a gentleman to Will, during this exchange.
All part of how their entanglements got thorny.]
Isn't it remarkable, how he's recovered? [Ah, the discussion of Abel Gideon. An irresistible topic. If Chilton couldn't stop Will's focus on the Baltimore three (with Will, of course, rounding them to four -- oddly young Hannibal was but a fraction in this count), he could at least refocus the lens onto one of the other two.] Pity about the leg.
That wasn't me, you know. I don't know how he managed to lose it. I suspect it was taken from him.
