It
is
only
when
we
get
a
coup
d'oeil
from
either
the
head
or
the
foot
that
you
recognise
that
there
are
symbolisations
.
See
!
they
are
in
triplicate
at
the
corners
and
the
centre
of
both
top
and
bottom
.
In
every
case
there
is
a
sun
cut
in
half
by
the
line
of
the
sarcophagus
,
as
by
the
horizon
.
Close
behind
each
of
these
and
faced
away
from
it
,
as
though
in
some
way
dependent
on
it
,
is
the
vase
which
in
hieroglyphic
writing
symbolises
the
heart
--
'
Ab
'
the
Egyptians
called
it
.
Beyond
each
of
these
again
is
the
figure
of
a
pair
of
widespread
arms
turned
upwards
from
the
elbow
;
this
is
the
determinative
of
the
'
Ka
'
or
'D
ouble
'
.
But
its
relative
position
is
different
at
top
and
bottom
.
At
the
head
of
the
sarcophagus
the
top
of
the
'
Ka
'
is
turned
towards
the
mouth
of
the
vase
,
but
at
the
foot
the
extended
arms
point
away
from
it
.
"
The
symbolisation
seems
to
mean
that
during
the
passing
of
the
Sun
from
West
to
East
--
from
sunset
to
sunrise
,
or
through
the
Under
World
,
otherwise
night
--
the
Heart
,
which
is
material
even
in
the
tomb
and
can
not
leave
it
,
simply
revolves
,
so
that
it
can
always
rest
on
'
Ra
'
the
Sun-God
,
the
origin
of
all
good
;
but
that
the
Double
,
which
represents
the
active
principle
,
goes
whither
it
will
,
the
same
by
night
as
by
day
.
If
this
be
correct
it
is
a
warning
--
a
caution
--
a
reminder
that
the
consciousness
of
the
mummy
does
not
rest
but
is
to
be
reckoned
with
.
"
Or
it
may
be
intended
to
convey
that
after
the
particular
night
of
the
resurrection
,
the
'
Ka
'
would
leave
the
heart
altogether
,
thus
typifying
that
in
her
resurrection
the
Queen
would
be
restored
to
a
lower
and
purely
physical
existence
.
In
such
case
what
would
become
of
her
memory
and
the
experiences
of
her
wide-wandering
soul
?
The
chiefest
value
of
her
resurrection
would
be
lost
to
the
world
!
This
,
however
,
does
not
alarm
me
.
It
is
only
guess-work
after
all
,
and
is
contradictory
to
the
intellectual
belief
of
the
Egyptian
theology
,
that
the
'
Ka
'
is
an
essential
portion
of
humanity
.
"
He
paused
and
we
all
waited
.
The
silence
was
broken
by
Doctor
Winchester
:
"
But
would
not
all
this
imply
that
the
Queen
feared
intrusion
of
her
tomb
?
"
Mr.
Trelawny
smiled
as
he
answered
:
"
My
dear
sir
,
she
was
prepared
for
it
.
The
grave
robber
is
no
modern
application
of
endeavour
;
he
was
probably
known
in
the
Queen
's
own
dynasty
.
Not
only
was
she
prepared
for
intrusion
,
but
,
as
shown
in
several
ways
,
she
expected
it
.
The
hiding
of
the
lamps
in
the
serdab
,
and
the
institution
of
the
avenging
'
treasurer
'
shows
that
there
was
defence
,
positive
as
well
as
negative
.
Indeed
,
from
the
many
indications
afforded
in
the
clues
laid
out
with
the
most
consummated
thought
,
we
may
almost
gather
that
she
entertained
it
as
a
possibility
that
others
--
like
ourselves
,
for
instance
--
might
in
all
seriousness
undertake
the
work
which
she
had
made
ready
for
her
own
hands
when
the
time
should
have
come
.
This
very
matter
that
I
have
been
speaking
of
is
an
instance
.
The
clue
is
intended
for
seeing
eyes
!
"
Again
we
were
silent
.
It
was
Margaret
who
spoke
:
"
Father
,
may
I
have
that
chart
?
I
should
like
to
study
it
during
the
day
!
"
"
Certainly
,
my
dear
!
"
answered
Mr.
Trelawny
heartily
,
as
he
handed
it
to
her
.
He
resumed
his
instructions
in
a
different
tone
,
a
more
matter-of-fact
one
suitable
to
a
practical
theme
which
had
no
mystery
about
it
:
"
I
think
you
had
better
all
understand
the
working
of
the
electric
light
in
case
any
sudden
contingency
should
arise
.
I
dare
say
you
have
noticed
that
we
have
a
complete
supply
in
every
part
of
the
house
,
so
that
there
need
not
be
a
dark
corner
anywhere
.
This
I
had
specially
arranged
.
It
is
worked
by
a
set
of
turbines
moved
by
the
flowing
and
ebbing
tide
,
after
the
manner
of
the
turbines
at
Niagara
.
I
hope
by
this
means
to
nullify
accident
and
to
have
without
fail
a
full
supply
ready
at
any
time
.
Come
with
me
and
I
will
explain
the
system
of
circuits
,
and
point
out
to
you
the
taps
and
the
fuses
.
"
I
could
not
but
notice
,
as
we
went
with
him
all
over
the
house
,
how
absolutely
complete
the
system
was
,
and
how
he
had
guarded
himself
against
any
disaster
that
human
thought
could
foresee
.
