Quite
right
!
Sergeant
.
Your
impulse
was
correct
;
though
of
course
in
the
half-somnolent
condition
in
which
you
were
,
and
perhaps
partly
affected
by
the
same
influence
--
whatever
it
may
be
--
which
made
me
sleep
and
which
has
put
the
Nurse
in
that
cataleptic
trance
,
it
could
not
be
expected
that
you
would
paused
to
weigh
matters
.
But
now
,
whilst
the
matter
is
fresh
,
let
me
see
exactly
where
you
stood
and
where
I
sat
.
We
shall
be
able
to
trace
the
course
of
your
bullets
.
"
The
prospect
of
action
and
the
exercise
of
his
habitual
skill
seemed
to
brace
him
at
once
;
he
seemed
a
different
man
as
he
set
about
his
work
.
I
asked
Mrs.
Grant
to
hold
the
tourniquet
,
and
went
and
stood
where
he
had
stood
and
looked
where
,
in
the
darkness
,
he
had
pointed
.
I
could
not
but
notice
the
mechanical
exactness
of
his
mind
,
as
when
he
showed
me
where
he
had
stood
,
or
drew
,
as
a
matter
of
course
,
the
revolver
from
his
pistol
pocket
,
and
pointed
with
it
.
The
chair
from
which
I
had
risen
still
stood
in
its
place
.
Then
I
asked
him
to
point
with
his
hand
only
,
as
I
wished
to
move
in
the
track
of
his
shot
.
Just
behind
my
chair
,
and
a
little
back
of
it
,
stood
a
high
buhl
cabinet
.
The
glass
door
was
shattered
.
I
asked
:
"
Was
this
the
direction
of
your
first
shot
or
your
second
?
"
The
answer
came
promptly
.
"
The
second
;
the
first
was
over
there
!
"
He
turned
a
little
to
the
left
,
more
toward
the
wall
where
the
great
safe
stood
,
and
pointed
.
I
followed
the
direction
of
his
hand
and
came
to
the
low
table
whereon
rested
,
amongst
other
curios
,
the
mummy
of
the
cat
which
had
raised
Silvio
's
ire
.
I
got
a
candle
and
easily
found
the
mark
of
the
bullet
.
It
had
broken
a
little
glass
vase
and
a
tazza
of
black
basalt
,
exquisitely
engraved
with
hieroglyphics
,
the
graven
lines
being
filled
with
some
faint
green
cement
and
the
whole
thing
being
polished
to
an
equal
surface
.
The
bullet
,
flattened
against
the
wall
,
lay
on
the
table
.
I
then
went
to
the
broken
cabinet
.
It
was
evidently
a
receptacle
for
valuable
curios
;
for
in
it
were
some
great
scarabs
of
gold
,
agate
,
green
jasper
,
amethyst
,
lapis
lazuli
,
opal
,
granite
,
and
blue-green
china
.
None
of
these
things
happily
were
touched
.
The
bullet
had
gone
through
the
back
of
the
cabinet
;
but
no
other
damage
,
save
the
shattering
of
the
glass
,
had
been
done
.
I
could
not
but
notice
the
strange
arrangement
of
the
curios
on
the
shelf
of
the
cabinet
.
All
the
scarabs
,
rings
,
amulets
,
&
c.
were
arranged
in
an
uneven
oval
round
an
exquisitely-carved
golden
miniature
figure
of
a
hawk-headed
God
crowned
with
a
disk
and
plumes
.
I
did
not
wait
to
look
further
at
present
,
for
my
attention
was
demanded
by
more
pressing
things
;
but
I
determined
to
make
a
more
minute
examination
when
I
should
have
time
.
It
was
evident
that
some
of
the
strange
Egyptian
smell
clung
to
these
old
curios
;
through
the
broken
glass
came
an
added
whiff
of
spice
and
gum
and
bitumen
,
almost
stronger
than
those
I
had
already
noticed
as
coming
from
others
in
the
room
.
All
this
had
really
taken
but
a
few
minutes
.
I
was
surprised
when
my
eye
met
,
through
the
chinks
between
the
dark
window
blinds
and
the
window
cases
,
the
brighter
light
of
the
coming
dawn
.
When
I
went
back
to
the
sofa
and
took
the
tourniquet
from
Mrs.
Grant
,
she
went
over
and
pulled
up
the
blinds
.
It
would
be
hard
to
imagine
anything
more
ghastly
than
the
appearance
of
the
room
with
the
faint
grey
light
of
early
morning
coming
in
upon
it
.
As
the
windows
faced
north
,
any
light
that
came
was
a
fixed
grey
light
without
any
of
the
rosy
possibility
of
dawn
which
comes
in
the
eastern
quarter
of
heaven
.
The
electric
lights
seemed
dull
and
yet
glaring
;
and
every
shadow
was
of
a
hard
intensity
.
There
was
nothing
of
morning
freshness
;
nothing
of
the
softness
of
night
.
All
was
hard
and
cold
and
inexpressibly
dreary
.
The
face
of
the
senseless
man
on
the
sofa
seemed
of
a
ghastly
yellow
;
and
the
Nurse
's
face
had
taken
a
suggestion
of
green
from
the
shade
of
the
lamp
near
her
.
Only
Miss
Trelawny
's
face
looked
white
;
and
it
was
of
a
pallor
which
made
my
heart
ache
.
It
looked
as
if
nothing
on
God
's
earth
could
ever
again
bring
back
to
it
the
colour
of
life
and
happiness
.
