Even in this fleeting glimpse, the unusual tint attracted his attention: there was a brilliancy as of fire in it. Somehow it seemed to make a claim upon his memory. He continued to stare down at the stranger with an indefinable sense that he knew something about her. Suddenly another figure appeared upon the balcony and in a flash he comprehended everything.
Jimmie Dale had the foot of the bed now near the corner. He again, and instantly flung himself flat upon the floor and, in the answering flash of the Wolf's shot, placed the exact location of the door itself. There was tumult enough now to deaden the slight sound he made.
