The nephew escapes. "The Four" are double-crossed by Phiney Glenn, Jeff Armstrong and Adolph Gassner, who have acted as a "fence" and now desire respectability. "The Four," in prison, never once forget their desire for revenge, and when opportunity for escape comes Mordant goes to America and begins his campaign of revenge, which includes mental tortures for Glenn, now Glenister, and Armstrong, now Strong, and death for Gassner. His crowning stroke comes when he steals Dorothy, Glenister's daughter, and tells her of her father's feet of clay, laying bare the crime and treachery on which his respectability is founded. It is Mordant's supreme moment, but he experiences the futility of revenge when he learns that Dorothy is not Glenister's own daughter, but is the daughter of Charles Eaton, whom Glenister has adopted "to make things right." In the meantime detectives are closing in on Mordant and it is only through the quick wit of Marie Marat, who has accompanied him from Europe, that he finds safety and an opportunity for a better life.
