Chapter VIII
THE REALM OF NEW DIMENSIONS The shadows of our world were vanished. The Borderland, with its darkness, its drab empty slope, was gone. A new world lay spread about me; new companions. And I was conscious of a new entity--a new Robert Manse, who was myself. I remember now that my first thought was surprise that I should be able to visualize things of strangeness.
