Humphrey finds you in the corridor with two glasses of water, because he noticed you had none at the table.
"He means it, about the page,"
he says, handing one over.
"I have watched him mean it twice before, and both times it cost him something. I am telling you because nobody in that room will."
He drinks half of his own water, looks at the door, and then at you, and adds, quieter, that if you decide to leave tonight he will drive you himself, and that his name will not appear on any list of yours afterwards.
