The
sun
is
down
,
Father
!
Shall
any
of
us
see
it
again
?
The
night
of
nights
is
come
!
"
If
any
evidence
had
been
wanted
of
how
absolutely
one
and
all
of
us
had
come
to
believe
in
the
spiritual
existence
of
the
Egyptian
Queen
,
it
would
have
been
found
in
the
change
which
in
a
few
minutes
had
been
effected
in
us
by
the
statement
of
voluntary
negation
made
,
we
all
believed
,
through
Margaret
.
Despite
the
coming
of
the
fearful
ordeal
,
the
sense
of
which
it
was
impossible
to
forget
,
we
looked
and
acted
as
though
a
great
relief
had
come
to
us
.
We
had
indeed
lived
in
such
a
state
of
terrorism
during
the
days
when
Mr.
Trelawny
was
lying
in
a
trance
that
the
feeling
had
bitten
deeply
into
us
.
No
one
knows
till
he
has
experienced
it
,
what
it
is
to
be
in
constant
dread
of
some
unknown
danger
which
may
come
at
any
time
and
in
any
form
.
The
change
was
manifested
in
different
ways
,
according
to
each
nature
.
Margaret
was
sad
.
Doctor
Winchester
was
in
high
spirits
,
and
keenly
observant
;
the
process
of
thought
which
had
served
as
an
antidote
to
fear
,
being
now
relieved
from
this
duty
,
added
to
his
intellectual
enthusiasm
.
Mr.
Corbeck
seemed
to
be
in
a
retrospective
rather
than
a
speculative
mood
.
I
was
myself
rather
inclined
to
be
gay
;
the
relief
from
certain
anxiety
regarding
Margaret
was
sufficient
for
me
for
the
time
.
As
to
Mr.
Trelawny
he
seemed
less
changed
than
any
.
Perhaps
this
was
only
natural
,
as
he
had
had
in
his
mind
the
intention
for
so
many
years
of
doing
that
in
which
we
were
tonight
engaged
,
that
any
event
connected
with
it
could
only
seem
to
him
as
an
episode
,
a
step
to
the
end
.
His
was
that
commanding
nature
which
looks
so
to
the
end
of
an
undertaking
that
all
else
is
of
secondary
importance
.
Even
now
,
though
his
terrible
sternness
relaxed
under
the
relief
from
the
strain
,
he
never
flagged
nor
faltered
for
a
moment
in
his
purpose
.
He
asked
us
men
to
come
with
him
;
and
going
to
the
hall
we
presently
managed
to
lower
into
the
cave
an
oak
table
,
fairly
long
and
not
too
wide
,
which
stood
against
the
wall
in
the
hall
.
This
we
placed
under
the
strong
cluster
of
electric
lights
in
the
middle
of
the
cave
.
Margaret
looked
on
for
a
while
;
then
all
at
once
her
face
blanched
,
and
in
an
agitated
voice
she
said
:
"
What
are
you
going
to
do
,
Father
?
"
"
To
unroll
the
mummy
of
the
cat
!
Queen
Tera
will
not
need
her
Familiar
tonight
.
If
she
should
want
him
,
it
might
be
dangerous
to
us
;
so
we
shall
make
him
safe
.
You
are
not
alarmed
,
dear
?
"
"
Oh
no
!
"
she
answered
quickly
.
"
But
I
was
thinking
of
my
Silvio
,
and
how
I
should
feel
if
he
had
been
the
mummy
that
was
to
be
unswathed
!
"
Mr.
Trelawny
got
knives
and
scissors
ready
,
and
placed
the
cat
on
the
table
.
It
was
a
grim
beginning
to
our
work
;
and
it
made
my
heart
sink
when
I
thought
of
what
might
happen
in
that
lonely
house
in
the
mid-gloom
of
the
night
.
The
sense
of
loneliness
and
isolation
from
the
world
was
increased
by
the
moaning
of
the
wind
which
had
now
risen
ominously
,
and
by
the
beating
of
waves
on
the
rocks
below
.
But
we
had
too
grave
a
task
before
us
to
be
swayed
by
external
manifestations
:
the
unrolling
of
the
mummy
began
.
There
was
an
incredible
number
of
bandages
;
and
the
tearing
sound
--
they
being
stuck
fast
to
each
other
by
bitumen
and
gums
and
spices
--
and
the
little
cloud
of
red
pungent
dust
that
arose
,
pressed
on
the
senses
of
all
of
us
.
As
the
last
wrappings
came
away
,
we
saw
the
animal
seated
before
us
.
He
was
all
hunkered
up
;
his
hair
and
teeth
and
claws
were
complete
.
The
eyes
were
closed
,
but
the
eyelids
had
not
the
fierce
look
which
I
expected
.
The
whiskers
had
been
pressed
down
on
the
side
of
the
face
by
the
bandaging
;
but
when
the
pressure
was
taken
away
they
stood
out
,
just
as
they
would
have
done
in
life
.
He
was
a
magnificent
creature
,
a
tiger-cat
of
great
size
.
But
as
we
looked
at
him
,
our
first
glance
of
admiration
changed
to
one
of
fear
,
and
a
shudder
ran
through
each
one
of
us
;
for
here
was
a
confirmation
of
the
fears
which
we
had
endured
.
