Excerpt: ...later days he had doubted its objective reality, and yet there had been times when it had been the most potent force in his life. It had become such a great and glorious fact that everything else had sunk into insignificance. Then there was that scene in the library at Wendover. He had been on the point of signing the paper which Count Romanoff had prepared for him. Under Pg 174 this man's influence, right and wrong had appeared to him but a chimera of the imagination. The alternative which had appeared before him stood out in ghastly clearness. He had only to sign the paper, and all the riches which he thought were his would remain in his possession.

"No," she replied wonderingly. "Then I suppose I was mistaken. You are Olga, aren't you?" "Yes; I am Olga." "And you made that wonderful speech?"
