We
were
all
impressed
by
the
house
as
it
appeared
in
the
bright
moonlight
.
A
great
grey
stone
mansion
of
the
Jacobean
period
;
vast
and
spacious
,
standing
high
over
the
sea
on
the
very
verge
of
a
high
cliff
.
When
we
had
swept
round
the
curve
of
the
avenue
cut
through
the
rock
,
and
come
out
on
the
high
plateau
on
which
the
house
stood
,
the
crash
and
murmur
of
waves
breaking
against
rock
far
below
us
came
with
an
invigorating
breath
of
moist
sea
air
.
We
understood
then
in
an
instant
how
well
we
were
shut
out
from
the
world
on
that
rocky
shelf
above
the
sea
.
Within
the
house
we
found
all
ready
.
Mrs.
Grant
and
her
staff
had
worked
well
,
and
all
was
bright
and
fresh
and
clean
.
We
took
a
brief
survey
of
the
chief
rooms
and
then
separated
to
have
a
wash
and
to
change
our
clothes
after
our
long
journey
of
more
than
four-and-twenty
hours
.
We
had
supper
in
the
great
dining-room
on
the
south
side
,
the
walls
of
which
actually
hung
over
the
sea
.
The
murmur
came
up
muffled
,
but
it
never
ceased
.
As
the
little
promontory
stood
well
out
into
the
sea
,
the
northern
side
of
the
house
was
open
;
and
the
due
north
was
in
no
way
shut
out
by
the
great
mass
of
rock
,
which
,
reared
high
above
us
,
shut
out
the
rest
of
the
world
.
Far
off
across
the
bay
we
could
see
the
trembling
lights
of
the
castle
,
and
here
and
there
along
the
shore
the
faint
light
of
a
fisher
's
window
.
For
the
rest
the
sea
was
a
dark
blue
plain
with
an
occasional
flicker
of
light
as
the
gleam
of
starlight
fell
on
the
slope
of
a
swelling
wave
.
When
supper
was
over
we
all
adjourned
to
the
room
which
Mr.
Trelawny
had
set
aside
as
his
study
,
his
bedroom
being
close
to
it
.
As
we
entered
,
the
first
thing
I
noticed
was
a
great
safe
,
somewhat
similar
to
that
which
stood
in
his
room
in
London
.
When
we
were
in
the
room
Mr.
Trelawny
went
over
to
the
table
,
and
,
taking
out
his
pocket-book
,
laid
it
on
the
table
.
As
he
did
so
he
pressed
down
on
it
with
the
palm
of
his
hand
.
A
strange
pallor
came
over
his
face
.
With
fingers
that
trembled
he
opened
the
book
,
saying
as
he
did
so
:
"
Its
bulk
does
not
seem
the
same
;
I
hope
nothing
has
happened
!
"
All
three
of
us
men
crowded
round
close
.
Margaret
alone
remained
calm
;
she
stood
erect
and
silent
,
and
still
as
a
statue
.
She
had
a
far-away
look
in
her
eyes
,
as
though
she
did
not
either
know
or
care
what
was
going
on
around
her
.
With
a
despairing
gesture
Trelawny
threw
open
the
pouch
of
the
pocket-book
wherein
he
had
placed
the
Jewel
of
Seven
Stars
.
As
he
sank
down
on
the
chair
which
stood
close
to
him
,
he
said
in
a
hoarse
voice
:
"
My
God
!
it
is
gone
.
Without
it
the
Great
Experiment
can
come
to
nothing
!
"
