Elaine Bernard, one of his pupils, is cowering over a table, her hair disheveled and her clothes all but torn off her back. Ford Maillard, her fiancé, stands over her, upbraiding her bitterly, while lying prone on the ground, his face covered with blood, is Delna, a Hindoo art student, who possesses occult powers. In the background is a woman whom he does not recognize. It develops later that she is his wife whom he had not seen since his imprisonment, and that the girl is his own daughter. Maillard had arrived at the studio in time to rescue her from the attack of Delna, but, misunderstanding her presence there, accused her unjustly. Mayne recognizes in this misunderstanding a counterpart of the situation that led to his own unhappiness, and out of the wisdom bought by his bitter experience effects a reconciliation between the young people. Chastened by adversity the older couple, too, decide to start over again, and happiness results from what seemed to be at first, unrelieved misfortune.
