Her
cheeks
were
flaming
red
,
and
her
eyes
were
full
of
indignant
tears
.
Her
father
saw
her
distress
;
and
,
sympathising
with
it
,
began
to
comfort
her
.
I
was
moving
off
;
but
he
signed
to
me
to
stay
.
I
took
it
that
after
the
usual
manner
of
men
he
wanted
help
on
such
an
occasion
,
and
man-like
wished
to
throw
on
someone
else
the
task
of
dealing
with
a
woman
in
indignant
distress
.
However
,
he
began
to
appeal
first
to
her
reason
:
"
Not
a
woman
,
dear
;
a
mummy
!
She
has
been
dead
nearly
five
thousand
years
!
"
"
What
does
that
matter
?
Sex
is
not
a
matter
of
years
!
A
woman
is
a
woman
,
if
she
had
been
dead
five
thousand
centuries
!
And
you
expect
her
to
arise
out
of
that
long
sleep
!
It
could
not
be
real
death
,
if
she
is
to
rise
out
of
it
!
You
have
led
me
to
believe
that
she
will
come
alive
when
the
Coffer
is
opened
!
"
"
I
did
,
my
dear
;
and
I
believe
it
!
But
if
it
is
n't
death
that
has
been
the
matter
with
her
all
these
years
,
it
is
something
uncommonly
like
it
.
Then
again
,
just
think
;
it
was
men
who
embalmed
her
.
They
did
n't
have
women
's
rights
or
lady
doctors
in
ancient
Egypt
,
my
dear
!
And
besides
,
"
he
went
on
more
freely
,
seeing
that
she
was
accepting
his
argument
,
if
not
yielding
to
it
,
"
we
men
are
accustomed
to
such
things
.
Corbeck
and
I
have
unrolled
a
hundred
mummies
;
and
there
were
as
many
women
as
men
amongst
them
.
Doctor
Winchester
in
his
work
has
had
to
deal
with
women
as
well
of
men
,
till
custom
has
made
him
think
nothing
of
sex
.
Even
Ross
has
in
his
work
as
a
barrister
...
"
He
stopped
suddenly
.
"
You
were
going
to
help
too
!
"
she
said
to
me
,
with
an
indignant
look
.
I
said
nothing
;
I
thought
silence
was
best
.
Mr.
Trelawny
went
on
hurriedly
;
I
could
see
that
he
was
glad
of
interruption
,
for
the
part
of
his
argument
concerning
a
barrister
's
work
was
becoming
decidedly
weak
:
"
My
child
,
you
will
be
with
us
yourself
.
Would
we
do
anything
which
would
hurt
or
offend
you
?
Come
now
!
be
reasonable
!
We
are
not
at
a
pleasure
party
.
We
are
all
grave
men
,
entering
gravely
on
an
experiment
which
may
unfold
the
wisdom
of
old
times
,
and
enlarge
human
knowledge
indefinitely
;
which
may
put
the
minds
of
men
on
new
tracks
of
thought
and
research
.
An
experiment
,
"
as
he
went
on
his
voice
deepened
,
"
which
may
be
fraught
with
death
to
any
one
of
us
--
to
us
all
!
We
know
from
what
has
been
,
that
there
are
,
or
may
be
,
vast
and
unknown
dangers
ahead
of
us
,
of
which
none
in
the
house
today
may
ever
see
the
end
.
Take
it
,
my
child
,
that
we
are
not
acting
lightly
;
but
with
all
the
gravity
of
deeply
earnest
men
!
Besides
,
my
dear
,
whatever
feelings
you
or
any
of
us
may
have
on
the
subject
,
it
is
necessary
for
the
success
of
the
experiment
to
unswathe
her
.
I
think
that
under
any
circumstances
it
would
be
necessary
to
remove
the
wrappings
before
she
became
again
a
live
human
being
instead
of
a
spiritualised
corpse
with
an
astral
body
.
Were
her
original
intention
carried
out
,
and
did
she
come
to
new
life
within
her
mummy
wrappings
,
it
might
be
to
exchange
a
coffin
for
a
grave
!
She
would
die
the
death
of
the
buried
alive
!
But
now
,
when
she
has
voluntarily
abandoned
for
the
time
her
astral
power
,
there
can
be
no
doubt
on
the
subject
.
"
Margaret
's
face
cleared
.
"
All
right
,
Father
!
"
she
said
as
she
kissed
him
.
"
But
oh
!
it
seems
a
horrible
indignity
to
a
Queen
,
and
a
woman
.
"
I
was
moving
away
to
the
staircase
when
she
called
me
:
