PEMIPEN When Otho recovered conscious- ness and tried to move, he found that he could move nothing bul his eyes. Nor did he keep his eyes open for more than a few seconds, as the pain that he suffered was intolerable and the vision that he beheld, unendurable. ‘Was he again sun-smitten in the desert, and beholding a maddening mirage? For he had seemed to see Margaret herself, standing between her husband, Jules Maligni, and that fellow, Raisul. Yes, each was holding one of her arms and she was struggling violently.

Slowly his mind cleared, and memory began to work accurately. Gingerly he felt his head. Yes, by Jove! A lump and a cut.
