Haydon did not linger to talk with the men, though; he dismounted and entered the cabin, where, an instant later, he was talking with Deveny. Haydon's eyes were still triumphant glowing with a malignant satisfaction. "He's wise and dead tickled to join," he told Deveny, referring to Harlan. "And I took him in on his own terms.
