In a few moments the man opened his eyes and regained consciousness.

His appearance, however, was still ghastly.
"Where am I ?" he murmured.
"You are here in my room, at the Servants' Club," Quest replied.

"You are just about to tell me where I shall find Lenora." Craig shook his head.

A very weak smile of triumph flickered for a moment at the corners of his lips.
"Your torture chamber trick won't work on me!" he exclaimed.

"You can never--" The whole gamut of emotions seemed already to have spent themselves in the man's face, but at that moment there was a new element, an element of terrified curiosity in the expression of his eyes as he stared towards the door.
"Is this another trick of yours ?" he muttered.
Quest, too, turned his head and sprang instantly to his feet.
