Chapter XI
The one first thought, bursting into full form and expression in Lynette's brain, with the suddenness, and the shock of an explosion, was: "He is alive!" And in Babe Deveril's mind the thought: "Bruce Standing at last!... And drunk with rage!" And Bruce Standing's one thought, as both understood somewhat as they leaped to their feet: "Into my hands, of all my enemies are those two whom I hate most delivered!"
