As
I
came
back
to
the
top
of
the
steps
I
could
see
the
bright
sunlight
,
rising
from
behind
me
,
turning
the
rocks
across
the
bay
to
glittering
gold
.
And
yet
I
felt
somehow
disturbed
.
It
was
all
too
bright
;
as
it
sometimes
is
before
the
coming
of
a
storm
.
As
I
paused
to
watch
it
,
I
felt
a
soft
hand
on
my
shoulder
;
and
,
turning
,
found
Margaret
close
to
me
;
Margaret
as
bright
and
radiant
as
the
morning
glory
of
the
sun
!
It
was
my
own
Margaret
this
time
!
My
old
Margaret
,
without
alloy
of
any
other
;
and
I
felt
that
,
at
least
,
this
last
and
fatal
day
was
well
begun
.
But
alas
!
the
joy
did
not
last
.
When
we
got
back
to
the
house
from
a
stroll
around
the
cliffs
,
the
same
old
routine
of
yesterday
was
resumed
:
gloom
and
anxiety
,
hope
,
high
spirits
,
deep
depression
,
and
apathetic
aloofness
.
But
it
was
to
be
a
day
of
work
;
and
we
all
braced
ourselves
to
it
with
an
energy
which
wrought
its
own
salvation
.
After
breakfast
we
all
adjourned
to
the
cave
,
where
Mr.
Trelawny
went
over
,
point
by
point
,
the
position
of
each
item
of
our
paraphernalia
.
He
explained
as
he
went
on
why
each
piece
was
so
placed
.
He
had
with
him
the
great
rolls
of
paper
with
the
measured
plans
and
the
signs
and
drawings
which
he
had
had
made
from
his
own
and
Corbeck
's
rough
notes
.
As
he
had
told
us
,
these
contained
the
whole
of
the
hieroglyphics
on
walls
and
ceilings
and
floor
of
the
tomb
in
the
Valley
of
the
Sorcerer
.
Even
had
not
the
measurements
,
made
to
scale
,
recorded
the
position
of
each
piece
of
furniture
,
we
could
have
eventually
placed
them
by
a
study
of
the
cryptic
writings
and
symbols
.
Mr.
Trelawny
explained
to
us
certain
other
things
,
not
laid
down
on
the
chart
.
Such
as
,
for
instance
,
that
the
hollowed
part
of
the
table
was
exactly
fitted
to
the
bottom
of
the
Magic
Coffer
,
which
was
therefore
intended
to
be
placed
on
it
.
The
respective
legs
of
this
table
were
indicated
by
differently
shaped
uraei
outlined
on
the
floor
,
the
head
of
each
being
extended
in
the
direction
of
the
similar
uraeus
twined
round
the
leg
.
Also
that
the
mummy
,
when
laid
on
the
raised
portion
in
the
bottom
of
the
sarcophagus
,
seemingly
made
to
fit
the
form
,
would
lie
head
to
the
West
and
feet
to
the
East
,
thus
receiving
the
natural
earth
currents
.
"
If
this
be
intended
,
"
he
said
,
"
as
I
presume
it
is
,
I
gather
that
the
force
to
be
used
has
something
to
do
with
magnetism
or
electricity
,
or
both
.
It
may
be
,
of
course
,
that
some
other
force
,
such
,
for
instance
,
as
that
emanating
from
radium
,
is
to
be
employed
.
I
have
experimented
with
the
latter
,
but
only
in
such
small
quantity
as
I
could
obtain
;
but
so
far
as
I
can
ascertain
the
stone
of
the
Coffer
is
absolutely
impervious
to
its
influence
.
There
must
be
some
such
unsusceptible
substances
in
nature
.
Radium
does
not
seemingly
manifest
itself
when
distributed
through
pitchblende
;
and
there
are
doubtless
other
such
substances
in
which
it
can
be
imprisoned
.
Possibly
these
may
belong
to
that
class
of
"
inert
"
elements
discovered
or
isolated
by
Sir
William
Ramsay
.
It
is
therefore
possible
that
in
this
Coffer
,
made
from
an
aerolite
and
therefore
perhaps
containing
some
element
unknown
in
our
world
,
may
be
imprisoned
some
mighty
power
which
is
to
be
released
on
its
opening
.
"
This
appeared
to
be
an
end
of
this
branch
of
the
subject
;
but
as
he
still
kept
the
fixed
look
of
one
who
is
engaged
in
a
theme
we
all
waited
in
silence
.
After
a
pause
he
went
on
:
"
There
is
one
thing
which
has
up
to
now
,
I
confess
,
puzzled
me
.
It
may
not
be
of
prime
importance
;
but
in
a
matter
like
this
,
where
all
is
unknown
,
we
must
take
it
that
everything
is
important
.
I
can
not
think
that
in
a
matter
worked
out
with
such
extraordinary
scrupulosity
such
a
thing
should
be
overlooked
.
As
you
may
see
by
the
ground-plan
of
the
tomb
the
sarcophagus
stands
near
the
north
wall
,
with
the
Magic
Coffer
to
the
south
of
it
.
The
space
covered
by
the
former
is
left
quite
bare
of
symbol
or
ornamentation
of
any
kind
.
At
the
first
glance
this
would
seem
to
imply
that
the
drawings
had
been
made
after
the
sarcophagus
had
been
put
into
its
place
.
But
a
more
minute
examination
will
show
that
the
symbolisation
on
the
floor
is
so
arranged
that
a
definite
effect
is
produced
.
See
,
here
the
writings
run
in
correct
order
as
though
they
had
jumped
across
the
gap
.
It
is
only
from
certain
effects
that
it
becomes
clear
that
there
is
a
meaning
of
some
kind
.
What
that
meaning
may
be
is
what
we
want
to
know
.
Look
at
the
top
and
bottom
of
the
vacant
space
,
which
lies
West
and
East
corresponding
to
the
head
and
foot
of
the
sarcophagus
.
In
both
are
duplications
of
the
same
symbolisation
,
but
so
arranged
that
the
parts
of
each
one
of
them
are
integral
portions
of
some
other
writing
running
crosswise
.
