The
great
stake
?
"
I
repeated
;
"
the
resurrection
of
the
woman
,
and
the
woman
's
life
?
The
proof
that
resurrection
can
be
accomplished
;
by
magical
powers
;
by
scientific
knowledge
;
or
by
use
of
some
force
which
at
present
the
world
does
not
know
?
"
Then
Mr.
Trelawny
spoke
out
the
hopes
of
his
heart
which
up
to
now
he
had
indicated
rather
than
expressed
.
Once
or
twice
I
had
heard
Corbeck
speak
of
the
fiery
energy
of
his
youth
;
but
,
save
for
the
noble
words
of
Margaret
when
she
had
spoken
of
Queen
Tera
's
hope
--
which
coming
from
his
daughter
made
possible
a
belief
that
her
power
was
in
some
sense
due
to
heredity
--
I
had
seen
no
marked
sign
of
it
.
But
now
his
words
,
sweeping
before
them
like
a
torrent
all
antagonistic
thought
,
gave
me
a
new
idea
of
the
man
.
"
'
A
woman
's
life
!
'
What
is
a
woman
's
life
in
the
scale
with
what
we
hope
for
!
Why
,
we
are
risking
already
a
woman
's
life
;
the
dearest
life
to
me
in
all
the
world
,
and
that
grows
more
dear
with
every
hour
that
passes
.
We
are
risking
as
well
the
lives
of
four
men
;
yours
and
my
own
,
as
well
as
those
two
others
who
have
been
won
to
our
confidence
.
'
The
proof
that
resurrection
can
be
accomplished
!
'
That
is
much
.
A
marvellous
thing
in
this
age
of
science
,
and
the
scepticism
that
knowledge
makes
.
But
life
and
resurrection
are
themselves
but
items
in
what
may
be
won
by
the
accomplishment
of
this
Great
Experiment
.
Imagine
what
it
will
be
for
the
world
of
thought
--
the
true
world
of
human
progress
--
the
veritable
road
to
the
Stars
,
the
itur
ad
astra
of
the
Ancients
--
if
there
can
come
back
to
us
out
of
the
unknown
past
one
who
can
yield
to
us
the
lore
stored
in
the
great
Library
of
Alexandria
,
and
lost
in
its
consuming
flames
.
Not
only
history
can
be
set
right
,
and
the
teachings
of
science
made
veritable
from
their
beginnings
;
but
we
can
be
placed
on
the
road
to
the
knowledge
of
lost
arts
,
lost
learning
,
lost
sciences
,
so
that
our
feet
may
tread
on
the
indicated
path
to
their
ultimate
and
complete
restoration
.
Why
,
this
woman
can
tell
us
what
the
world
was
like
before
what
is
called
'
the
Flood
'
;
can
give
us
the
origin
of
that
vast
astounding
myth
;
can
set
the
mind
back
to
the
consideration
of
things
which
to
us
now
seem
primeval
,
but
which
were
old
stories
before
the
days
of
the
Patriarchs
.
But
this
is
not
the
end
!
No
,
not
even
the
beginning
!
If
the
story
of
this
woman
be
all
that
we
think
--
which
some
of
us
most
firmly
believe
;
if
her
powers
and
the
restoration
of
them
prove
to
be
what
we
expect
,
why
,
then
we
may
yet
achieve
a
knowledge
beyond
what
our
age
has
ever
known
--
beyond
what
is
believed
today
possible
for
the
children
of
men
.
If
indeed
this
resurrection
can
be
accomplished
,
how
can
we
doubt
the
old
knowledge
,
the
old
magic
,
the
old
belief
!
And
if
this
be
so
,
we
must
take
it
that
the
'
Ka
'
of
this
great
and
learned
Queen
has
won
secrets
of
more
than
mortal
worth
from
her
surroundings
amongst
the
stars
.
This
woman
in
her
life
voluntarily
went
down
living
to
the
grave
,
and
came
back
again
,
as
we
learn
from
the
records
in
her
tomb
;
she
chose
to
die
her
mortal
death
whilst
young
,
so
that
at
her
resurrection
in
another
age
,
beyond
a
trance
of
countless
magnitude
,
she
might
emerge
from
her
tomb
in
all
the
fulness
and
splendour
of
her
youth
and
power
.
Already
we
have
evidence
that
though
her
body
slept
in
patience
through
those
many
centuries
,
her
intelligence
never
passed
away
,
that
her
resolution
never
flagged
,
that
her
will
remained
supreme
;
and
,
most
important
of
all
,
that
her
memory
was
unimpaired
.
Oh
,
what
possibilities
are
there
in
the
coming
of
such
a
being
into
our
midst
!
One
whose
history
began
before
the
concrete
teaching
of
our
Bible
;
whose
experiences
were
antecedent
to
the
formulation
of
the
Gods
of
Greece
;
who
can
link
together
the
Old
and
the
New
,
Earth
and
Heaven
,
and
yield
to
the
known
worlds
of
thought
and
physical
existence
the
mystery
of
the
Unknown
--
of
the
Old
World
in
its
youth
,
and
of
Worlds
beyond
our
ken
!
"
He
paused
,
almost
overcome
.
Margaret
had
taken
his
hand
when
he
spoke
of
her
being
so
dear
to
him
,
and
held
it
hard
.
As
he
spoke
she
continued
to
hold
it
.
But
there
came
over
her
face
that
change
which
I
had
so
often
seen
of
late
;
that
mysterious
veiling
of
her
own
personality
which
gave
me
the
subtle
sense
of
separation
from
her
.
In
his
impassioned
vehemence
her
father
did
not
notice
;
but
when
he
stopped
she
seemed
all
at
once
to
be
herself
again
.
In
her
glorious
eyes
came
the
added
brightness
of
unshed
tears
;
and
with
a
gesture
of
passionate
love
and
admiration
,
she
stooped
and
kissed
her
father
's
hand
.
Then
,
turning
to
me
,
she
too
spoke
:
"
Malcolm
,
you
have
spoken
of
the
deaths
that
came
from
the
poor
Queen
;
or
rather
that
justly
came
from
meddling
with
her
arrangements
and
thwarting
her
purpose
.
Do
you
not
think
that
,
in
putting
it
as
you
have
done
,
you
have
been
unjust
?
Who
would
not
have
done
just
as
she
did
?
Remember
she
was
fighting
for
her
life
!
Ay
,
and
for
more
than
her
life
!
For
life
,
and
love
,
and
all
the
glorious
possibilities
of
that
dim
future
in
the
unknown
world
of
the
North
which
had
such
enchanting
hopes
for
her
!
Do
you
not
think
that
she
,
with
all
the
learning
of
her
time
,
and
with
all
the
great
and
resistless
force
of
her
mighty
nature
,
had
hopes
of
spreading
in
a
wider
way
the
lofty
aspirations
of
her
soul
!
That
she
hoped
to
bring
to
the
conquering
of
unknown
worlds
,
and
using
to
the
advantage
of
her
people
,
all
that
she
had
won
from
sleep
and
death
and
time
;
all
of
which
might
and
could
have
been
frustrated
by
the
ruthless
hand
of
an
assassin
or
a
thief
.
Were
it
you
,
in
such
case
would
you
not
struggle
by
all
means
to
achieve
the
object
of
your
life
and
hope
;
whose
possibilities
grew
and
grew
in
the
passing
of
those
endless
years
?
Can
you
think
that
that
active
brain
was
at
rest
during
all
those
weary
centuries
,
whilst
her
free
soul
was
flitting
from
world
to
world
amongst
the
boundless
regions
of
the
stars
?
Had
these
stars
in
their
myriad
and
varied
life
no
lessons
for
her
;
as
they
have
had
for
us
since
we
followed
the
glorious
path
which
she
and
her
people
marked
for
us
,
when
they
sent
their
winged
imaginations
circling
amongst
the
lamps
of
the
night
!
"
Here
she
paused
.
She
too
was
overcome
,
and
the
welling
tears
ran
down
her
cheeks
.
I
was
myself
more
moved
than
I
can
say
.
This
was
indeed
my
Margaret
;
and
in
the
consciousness
of
her
presence
my
heart
leapt
.
Out
of
my
happiness
came
boldness
,
and
I
dared
to
say
now
what
I
had
feared
would
be
impossible
:
something
which
would
call
the
attention
of
Mr.
Trelawny
to
what
I
imagined
was
the
dual
existence
of
his
daughter
.
As
I
took
Margaret
's
hand
in
mine
and
kissed
it
,
I
said
to
her
father
:
