"I dare anything in connection with what I know to be a fraud. You are passing yourself off as your brother Francis."
"By what right do you make this mad assertion?"
"From what Francis told me last night."
"But I tell you I am Francis," he said savagely. "Don't I know my own name?"
"If you are the man you assert yourself to be, where is the pearl ring?"
"I lost it."
"You did not! You never had it! I saw it on the finger of Francis no later than last night."
"I think you are mad, Denham!" said Felix, white with passion; "or else you must be talking of Felix, who is in Paris."
