It was the reversion of power; it brought her a great exultation. She sat down under it in a corner, hoping to be left alone, with a white face and shining eyes.
"You won't forget the Spec.?" asked Innes. "The Spec.?" said Archie. "O no, I won't forget the Spec."
She could see that they looked upon her as a providence sent by God to save them from being cast back upon the world they dreaded, the world from which they had fled.
