James looked at Oswald and Marion, and then to Anton.

"Anton, if you are lying just to protect someone, somewhere else..." 
His eyes met the musicians.  "We can help.  Lying about these matters, 
in the end, helps no one."

James looked at Anton intently and then spoke in Polish.

"W Języku polskim (blask), jeżeli wy życzycie?"
