One naturally expected of him mere grotesqueries and found simply the courteous demeanour of a gentleman of the world. So much for externals. But what more?

Like lightning Juve tore off in pursuit. The masquerader had the advantage by some yards. Banging door after door in Juve's face, he rushed towards the entrance hall, gained the staircase, racing down it by leaps and bounds, four steps at a time!...

Then, you must also consider the exact circumstances I standing there, with destruction hanging over me, with the sense that within a few hours I should be a pariah to her, a masquerader stripped of his disguise and cast out from the ball where he had been making so merry and so free. Only a few hours more! Perhaps now was the last time I should ever stand so near to her!

"Gregg, if they are listening " I pushed her away. This brave little masquerader! Not for my life, or for all the lives on the ship, would I consciously have endangered her. "But Grantline's findings!" I said aloud. "In his message see here, Prince " Coniston was too far away on the deck to hear us. Anita went to my door again and waved at him reassuringly.
Miss Carmichael gasped a little even as she extended her hand, for the masquerader had pulled off her gauntlet and held out hers as if she was conferring the freedom of the wilderness.
