Give me a call again, yes. Every evening -- or even sooner. [He said, urging. Pleading.] Once you've recuperated enough. Once you've rested. The very moment you've accumulated the requisite strength -- [He exhaled, audibly. Chilton recognized this behavioral pattern, though he seemed powerless to curb the impulse of anxiety.]
