Fingers " Kent whirled suddenly from the window. "Fingers " And Fingers, like a sphynx, sat and stared at Kent. "You were that man," Kent went on, coming nearer to him. "You lied, because you loved a woman, and you went out to face death because of that woman. The men at Lost City didn't know it, Fingers. The husband didn't know it.

The lawyer drew up a chair and set it beside his desk. His movements were swift now. He had no desire to lose the girl's change of mood. And Nancy submitted.

Nephew, I do not shrink before my changes of fortune. I shall wear coarser clothes, I shall feed on more ordinary food, men will not doff their cap to me as they were wont, when I was the great and the wealthy. What of that?
