Mr.
Trelawny
was
not
displeased
.
"
Quite
so
!
"
he
said
,
in
his
quiet
way
.
"
Shelley
had
a
better
conception
of
ancient
beliefs
than
any
of
our
poets
.
"
With
a
voice
changed
again
he
resumed
his
lecture
,
for
so
it
was
to
some
of
us
:
"
There
is
another
belief
of
the
ancient
Egyptian
which
you
must
bear
in
mind
;
that
regarding
the
ushaptiu
figures
of
Osiris
,
which
were
placed
with
the
dead
to
its
work
in
the
Under
World
.
The
enlargement
of
this
idea
came
to
a
belief
that
it
was
possible
to
transmit
,
by
magical
formulae
,
the
soul
and
qualities
of
any
living
creature
to
a
figure
made
in
its
image
.
This
would
give
a
terrible
extension
of
power
to
one
who
held
the
gift
of
magic
.
"
It
is
from
a
union
of
these
various
beliefs
,
and
their
natural
corollaries
,
that
I
have
come
to
the
conclusion
that
Queen
Tera
expected
to
be
able
to
effect
her
own
resurrection
,
when
,
and
where
,
and
how
,
she
would
.
That
she
may
have
held
before
her
a
definite
time
for
making
her
effort
is
not
only
possible
but
likely
.
I
shall
not
stop
now
to
explain
it
,
but
shall
enter
upon
the
subject
later
on
.
With
a
soul
with
the
Gods
,
a
spirit
which
could
wander
the
earth
at
will
,
and
a
power
of
corporeal
transference
,
or
an
astral
body
,
there
need
be
no
bounds
or
limits
to
her
ambition
.
The
belief
is
forced
upon
us
that
for
these
forty
or
fifty
centuries
she
lay
dormant
in
her
tomb
--
waiting
.
Waiting
with
that
'
patience
'
which
could
rule
the
Gods
of
the
Under
World
,
for
that
'
love
'
which
could
command
those
of
the
Upper
World
.
What
she
may
have
dreamt
we
know
not
;
but
her
dream
must
have
been
broken
when
the
Dutch
explorer
entered
her
sculptured
cavern
,
and
his
follower
violated
the
sacred
privacy
of
her
tomb
by
his
rude
outrage
in
the
theft
of
her
hand
.
"
That
theft
,
with
all
that
followed
,
proved
to
us
one
thing
,
however
:
that
each
part
of
her
body
,
though
separated
from
the
rest
,
can
be
a
central
point
or
rallying
place
for
the
items
or
particles
of
her
astral
body
.
That
hand
in
my
room
could
ensure
her
instantaneous
presence
in
the
flesh
,
and
its
equally
rapid
dissolution
.
"
Now
comes
the
crown
of
my
argument
.
The
purpose
of
the
attack
on
me
was
to
get
the
safe
open
,
so
that
the
sacred
Jewel
of
Seven
Stars
could
be
extracted
.
That
immense
door
of
the
safe
could
not
keep
out
her
astral
body
,
which
,
or
any
part
of
it
,
could
gather
itself
as
well
within
as
without
the
safe
.
And
I
doubt
not
that
in
the
darkness
of
the
night
that
mummied
hand
sought
often
the
Talisman
Jewel
,
and
drew
new
inspiration
from
its
touch
.
But
despite
all
its
power
,
the
astral
body
could
not
remove
the
Jewel
through
the
chinks
of
the
safe
.
The
Ruby
is
not
astral
;
and
it
could
only
be
moved
in
the
ordinary
way
by
the
opening
of
the
doors
.
To
this
end
,
the
Queen
used
her
astral
body
and
the
fierce
force
of
her
Familiar
,
to
bring
to
the
keyhole
of
the
safe
the
master
key
which
debarred
her
wish
.
For
years
I
have
suspected
,
nay
,
have
believed
as
much
;
and
I
,
too
,
guarded
myself
against
powers
of
the
Nether
World
.
I
,
too
,
waited
in
patience
till
I
should
have
gathered
together
all
the
factors
required
for
the
opening
of
the
Magic
Coffer
and
the
resurrection
of
the
mummied
Queen
!
"
He
paused
,
and
his
daughter
's
voice
came
out
sweet
and
clear
,
and
full
of
intense
feeling
:
"
Father
,
in
the
Egyptian
belief
,
was
the
power
of
resurrection
of
a
mummied
body
a
general
one
,
or
was
it
limited
?
That
is
:
could
it
achieve
resurrection
many
times
in
the
course
of
ages
;
or
only
once
,
and
that
one
final
?
"
"
There
was
but
one
resurrection
,
"
he
answered
.
"
There
were
some
who
believed
that
this
was
to
be
a
definite
resurrection
of
the
body
into
the
real
world
.
But
in
the
common
belief
,
the
Spirit
found
joy
in
the
Elysian
Fields
,
where
there
was
plenty
of
food
and
no
fear
of
famine
.
Where
there
was
moisture
and
deep-rooted
reeds
,
and
all
the
joys
that
are
to
be
expected
by
the
people
of
an
arid
land
and
burning
clime
.
"
