It
is
on
that
supposition
that
we
are
proceeding
.
We
must
have
the
courage
of
our
convictions
,
and
act
on
them
--
to
the
last
!
"
Margaret
took
his
hand
and
held
it
in
a
dreamy
kind
of
way
as
we
filed
out
of
the
house
.
She
was
holding
it
still
when
he
locked
the
hall
door
,
and
when
we
moved
up
the
road
to
the
gateway
,
whence
we
took
a
cab
to
Paddington
.
When
all
the
goods
were
loaded
at
the
station
,
the
whole
of
the
workmen
went
on
to
the
train
;
this
took
also
some
of
the
stone-wagons
used
for
carrying
the
cases
with
the
great
sarcophagi
.
Ordinary
carts
and
plenty
of
horses
were
to
be
found
at
Westerton
,
which
was
our
station
for
Kyllion
.
Mr.
Trelawny
had
ordered
a
sleeping-carriage
for
our
party
;
as
soon
as
the
train
had
started
we
all
turned
into
our
cubicles
.
That
night
I
slept
sound
.
There
was
over
me
a
conviction
of
security
which
was
absolute
and
supreme
.
Margaret
's
definite
announcement
:
"
There
will
not
be
any
trouble
tonight
!
"
seemed
to
carry
assurance
with
it
.
I
did
not
question
it
;
nor
did
anyone
else
.
It
was
only
afterwards
that
I
began
to
think
as
to
how
she
was
so
sure
.
The
train
was
a
slow
one
,
stopping
many
times
and
for
considerable
intervals
.
As
Mr.
Trelawny
did
not
wish
to
arrive
at
Westerton
before
dark
,
there
was
no
need
to
hurry
;
and
arrangements
had
been
made
to
feed
the
workmen
at
certain
places
on
the
journey
.
We
had
our
own
hamper
with
us
in
the
private
car
.
All
that
afternoon
we
talked
over
the
Great
Experiment
,
which
seemed
to
have
become
a
definite
entity
in
our
thoughts
.
Mr.
Trelawny
became
more
and
more
enthusiastic
as
the
time
wore
on
;
hope
was
with
him
becoming
certainty
.
Doctor
Winchester
seemed
to
become
imbued
with
some
of
his
spirit
,
though
at
times
he
would
throw
out
some
scientific
fact
which
would
either
make
an
impasse
to
the
other
's
line
of
argument
,
or
would
come
as
an
arresting
shock
.
Mr.
Corbeck
,
on
the
other
hand
,
seemed
slightly
antagonistic
to
the
theory
.
It
may
have
been
that
whilst
the
opinions
of
the
others
advanced
,
his
own
stood
still
;
but
the
effect
was
an
attitude
which
appeared
negative
,
if
not
wholly
one
of
negation
.
As
for
Margaret
,
she
seemed
to
be
in
some
way
overcome
.
Either
it
was
some
new
phase
of
feeling
with
her
,
or
else
she
was
taking
the
issue
more
seriously
than
she
had
yet
done
.
She
was
generally
more
or
less
distraite
,
as
though
sunk
in
a
brown
study
;
from
this
she
would
recover
herself
with
a
start
.
This
was
usually
when
there
occurred
some
marked
episode
in
the
journey
,
such
as
stopping
at
a
station
,
or
when
the
thunderous
rumble
of
crossing
a
viaduct
woke
the
echoes
of
the
hills
or
cliffs
around
us
.
On
each
such
occasion
she
would
plunge
into
the
conversation
,
taking
such
a
part
in
it
as
to
show
that
,
whatever
had
been
her
abstracted
thought
,
her
senses
had
taken
in
fully
all
that
had
gone
on
around
her
.
Towards
myself
her
manner
was
strange
.
Sometimes
it
was
marked
by
a
distance
,
half
shy
,
half
haughty
,
which
was
new
to
me
.
At
other
times
there
were
moments
of
passion
in
look
and
gesture
which
almost
made
me
dizzy
with
delight
.
Little
,
however
,
of
a
marked
nature
transpired
during
the
journey
.
There
was
but
one
episode
which
had
in
it
any
element
of
alarm
,
but
as
we
were
all
asleep
at
the
time
it
did
not
disturb
us
.
We
only
learned
it
from
a
communicative
guard
in
the
morning
.
Whilst
running
between
Dawlish
and
Teignmouth
the
train
was
stopped
by
a
warning
given
by
someone
who
moved
a
torch
to
and
fro
right
on
the
very
track
.
The
driver
had
found
on
pulling
up
that
just
ahead
of
the
train
a
small
landslip
had
taken
place
,
some
of
the
red
earth
from
the
high
bank
having
fallen
away
.
It
did
not
however
reach
to
the
metals
;
and
the
driver
had
resumed
his
way
,
none
too
well
pleased
at
the
delay
.
To
use
his
own
words
,
the
guard
thought
"
there
was
too
much
bally
caution
on
this
'
ere
line
!
'
"
We
arrived
at
Westerton
about
nine
o'clock
in
the
evening
.
Carts
and
horses
were
in
waiting
,
and
the
work
of
unloading
the
train
began
at
once
.
Our
own
party
did
not
wait
to
see
the
work
done
,
as
it
was
in
the
hands
of
competent
people
.
We
took
the
carriage
which
was
in
waiting
,
and
through
the
darkness
of
the
night
sped
on
to
Kyllion
.
