Chapter XXIII
Well, Leonard, this is the first time thou hast shown that thou hast in thee the iron out of which true manhood is forged and shaped. Thou hast the power to resist. Forth, unebriate, unpolluted, he came from the orgy, as yon star above him came from the cloud. He had a latch-key to his lodgings. He let himself in and walked noiselessly up the creaking wooden stair.
