In his heart he felt that he had offered a mean affront to every person present, to the town where his interests lay, where his heart lay. Where his heart lay Molly Mackinder!
A woman sobbed somewhere in a far corner, but the rest were dismayed and speechless. A few steps before them all was Molly Mackinder, white and frightened, but in her eyes was a look of understanding as she gazed at Terry. Breathing hard, Terry stood still in the middle of the stage, the red fog not yet gone out of his eyes, his hands clasped at his side, vaguely realizing the audience again.
O'Ryan got his cue, and came on to an outburst of applause which shook the walls. La Touche rose at him, among them Miss Molly Mackinder in the front row with the notables. He did not see the back curtain, or Orion blazing in the ultramarine blue.
Terry's got his own at last. O'Ryan's in it in it alone. Now, let's hear the prairie-whisper!" he shouted, in a great, raucous voice. "Let's hear the prairie-whisper! What is it?"

The people had had more than the worth of their money. In a few moments the stage was crowded with people from the audience, but both Jopp and O'Ryan had disappeared. Among the visitors to the stage was Molly Mackinder. There was a meaning smile upon her face as she said to Dicky Fergus: "It was quite wonderful, wasn't it like a scene out of the classics the gladiators or something?"
Those who did know the drama among them Molly Mackinder became dismayed, then anxious. Fergus and Jopp knew well from the blow O'Ryan had given that, unless they could drag him down, the end must be disaster to some one. They were struggling with him for personal safety now.
