Corbett was able to accommodate any or all who felt that they would like to give Fortune a chance to be kind to them. The night after Mr. Corbett had attended the Salvation Army meeting, his "upstairs" room was as dark inside as it always appeared to be on the outside.

I was standing obviously on a concave surface, on the inside, not the outside of the world. "The situation, as I now understand it, was this: According to the smallest stature I reached, and calling my height at that time roughly six feet, I had descended into the ring at the time I met Lylda several thousand miles, at least.
