Chapter XXVIII
"A Lucky Guy" Lee had the affrighted look of one roused suddenly from troubled dreams. The whimper that had drawn the attention of Prince must have come from her restless, tortured sleep. Not till his second match flared had she been really awake. "Thank God!" he cried brokenly, all the pent emotion of the long night vibrant in his tremulous voice. She began to sob, softly, pitifully.
