It is several years since I bore my part in the events which I have rapidly sketched -- or I should not have felt justified in giving them publicity. Exactly how many years, for reasons which should be sufficiently obvious, I must decline to say.
Marjorie Lindon still lives. The spark of life which was left in her, when she was extricated from among the debris of the wrecked express, was fanned again into flame. Her restoration was, however, not merely an affair of weeks or months, it was a matter of years. I believe that, even after her physical powers were completely restored -- in itself a tedious task -- she was for something like three years under medical supervision as a lunatic. But all that skill and money could do was done, and in course of time -- the great healer -- the results were entirely satisfactory.
