'I am like the ancient figure of mortality entering the mouth of the tomb on a sepulchral monument, somewhere, by a celebrated sculptor: I have seen it: I forget the city. I shall presently forget names of men. It is not your abuse, Mr. Beltham. I should have bowed my head to it till the storm passed. Your facts . . . Oh!
Throughout this incident Maître Roger de Seras had remained in a state of blank incomprehension. Gurn's face was more expressionless and impenetrable than ever. "Call Lady Beltham!"
Beltham, let me assure you, I very heartily desire the information to be furnished to me. Or rather why should I conceal it?

He would have fired, but I sprang and struck him down! And then I strangled him!" Lady Beltham's eyes were fixed on the man's hands, that she still held between her own. "And I saw the muscles in these hands swell up beneath the skin as they tightened on his throat!" "I killed him!" groaned the man. But Lady Beltham, swept by a surge of passion, sprang up and sought his lips.
