In
the
kitchen
was
a
fire
of
wood
ready
laid
.
To
this
Mr.
Trelawny
applied
a
match
;
in
a
few
seconds
the
kindling
had
caught
and
the
flames
leaped
.
When
the
fire
was
solidly
ablaze
,
he
threw
the
body
of
the
cat
into
it
.
For
a
few
seconds
it
lay
a
dark
mass
amidst
the
flames
,
and
the
room
was
rank
with
the
smell
of
burning
hair
.
Then
the
dry
body
caught
fire
too
.
The
inflammable
substances
used
in
embalming
became
new
fuel
,
and
the
flames
roared
.
A
few
minutes
of
fierce
conflagration
;
and
then
we
breathed
freely
.
Queen
Tera
's
Familiar
was
no
more
!
When
we
went
back
to
the
cave
we
found
Margaret
sitting
in
the
dark
.
She
had
switched
off
the
electric
light
,
and
only
a
faint
glow
of
the
evening
light
came
through
the
narrow
openings
.
Her
father
went
quickly
over
to
her
and
put
his
arms
round
her
in
a
loving
protective
way
.
She
laid
her
head
on
his
shoulder
for
a
minute
and
seemed
comforted
.
Presently
she
called
to
me
:
"
Malcolm
,
turn
up
the
light
!
"
I
carried
out
her
orders
,
and
could
see
that
,
though
she
had
been
crying
,
her
eyes
were
now
dry
.
Her
father
saw
it
too
and
looked
glad
.
He
said
to
us
in
a
grave
tone
:
"
Now
we
had
better
prepare
for
our
great
work
.
It
will
not
do
to
leave
anything
to
the
last
!
"
Margaret
must
have
had
a
suspicion
of
what
was
coming
,
for
it
was
with
a
sinking
voice
that
she
asked
:
"
What
are
you
going
to
do
now
?
"
Mr.
Trelawny
too
must
have
had
a
suspicion
of
her
feelings
,
for
he
answered
in
a
low
tone
:
"
To
unroll
the
mummy
of
Queen
Tera
!
"
She
came
close
to
him
and
said
pleadingly
in
a
whisper
:
"
Father
,
you
are
not
going
to
unswathe
her
!
All
you
men
...
!
And
in
the
glare
of
light
!
"
"
But
why
not
,
my
dear
?
"
"
Just
think
,
Father
,
a
woman
!
All
alone
!
In
such
a
way
!
In
such
a
place
!
Oh
!
it
's
cruel
,
cruel
!
"
She
was
manifestly
much
overcome
.
