The
very
idea
seemed
to
endorse
Margaret
's
magnificent
tribute
to
her
purpose
,
and
helped
to
calm
my
troubled
spirit
.
Then
and
there
,
with
this
feeling
strong
upon
me
,
I
determined
to
warn
Margaret
and
her
father
of
dire
possibilities
;
and
to
await
,
as
well
content
as
I
could
in
my
ignorance
,
the
development
of
things
over
which
I
had
no
power
.
I
returned
to
the
house
in
a
different
frame
of
mind
to
that
in
which
I
had
left
it
;
and
was
enchanted
to
find
Margaret
--
the
old
Margaret
--
waiting
for
me
.
After
dinner
,
when
I
was
alone
for
a
time
with
the
father
and
daughter
,
I
opened
the
subject
,
though
with
considerable
hesitation
:
"
Would
it
not
be
well
to
take
every
possible
precaution
,
in
case
the
Queen
may
not
wish
what
we
are
doing
,
with
regard
to
what
may
occur
before
the
Experiment
;
and
at
or
after
her
waking
,
if
it
comes
off
?
"
Margaret
's
answer
came
back
quickly
;
so
quickly
that
I
was
convinced
she
must
have
had
it
ready
for
some
one
:
"
But
she
does
approve
!
Surely
it
can
not
be
otherwise
.
Father
is
doing
,
with
all
his
brains
and
all
his
energy
and
all
his
great
courage
,
just
exactly
what
the
great
Queen
had
arranged
!
"
"
But
,
"
I
answered
,
"
that
can
hardly
be
.
All
that
she
arranged
was
in
a
tomb
high
up
in
a
rock
,
in
a
desert
solitude
,
shut
away
from
the
world
by
every
conceivable
means
.
She
seems
to
have
depended
on
this
isolation
to
insure
against
accident
.
Surely
,
here
in
another
country
and
age
,
with
quite
different
conditions
,
she
may
in
her
anxiety
make
mistakes
and
treat
any
of
you
--
of
us
--
as
she
did
those
others
in
times
gone
past
.
Nine
men
that
we
know
of
have
been
slain
by
her
own
hand
or
by
her
instigation
.
She
can
be
remorseless
if
she
will
.
"
It
did
not
strike
me
till
afterwards
when
I
was
thinking
over
this
conversation
,
how
thoroughly
I
had
accepted
the
living
and
conscious
condition
of
Queen
Tera
as
a
fact
.
Before
I
spoke
,
I
had
feared
I
might
offend
Mr.
Trelawny
;
but
to
my
pleasant
surprise
he
smiled
quite
genially
as
he
answered
me
:
"
My
dear
fellow
,
in
a
way
you
are
quite
right
.
The
Queen
did
undoubtedly
intend
isolation
;
and
,
all
told
,
it
would
be
best
that
her
experiment
should
be
made
as
she
arranged
it
.
But
just
think
,
that
became
impossible
when
once
the
Dutch
explorer
had
broken
into
her
tomb
.
That
was
not
my
doing
.
I
am
innocent
of
it
,
though
it
was
the
cause
of
my
setting
out
to
rediscover
the
sepulchre
.
Mind
,
I
do
not
say
for
a
moment
that
I
would
not
have
done
just
the
same
as
Van
Huyn
.
I
went
into
the
tomb
from
curiosity
;
and
I
took
away
what
I
did
,
being
fired
with
the
zeal
of
acquisitiveness
which
animates
the
collector
.
But
,
remember
also
,
that
at
this
time
I
did
not
know
of
the
Queen
's
intention
of
resurrection
;
I
had
no
idea
of
the
completeness
of
her
preparations
.
All
that
came
long
afterwards
.
But
when
it
did
come
,
I
have
done
all
that
I
could
to
carry
out
her
wishes
to
the
full
.
My
only
fear
is
that
I
may
have
misinterpreted
some
of
her
cryptic
instructions
,
or
have
omitted
or
overlooked
something
.
But
of
this
I
am
certain
;
I
have
left
undone
nothing
that
I
can
imagine
right
to
be
done
;
and
I
have
done
nothing
that
I
know
of
to
clash
with
Queen
Tera
's
arrangement
.
I
want
her
Great
Experiment
to
succeed
.
To
this
end
I
have
not
spared
labour
or
time
or
money
--
or
myself
.
I
have
endured
hardship
,
and
braved
danger
.
All
my
brains
;
all
my
knowledge
and
learning
,
such
as
they
are
;
all
my
endeavours
such
as
they
can
be
,
have
been
,
are
,
and
shall
be
devoted
to
this
end
,
till
we
either
win
or
lose
the
great
stake
that
we
play
for
.
