Two
lines
:
Fact
and
--
Fancy
!
In
the
first
there
is
this
whole
thing
;
attacks
,
attempts
at
robbery
and
murder
;
stupefyings
;
organised
catalepsy
which
points
to
either
criminal
hypnotism
and
thought
suggestion
,
or
some
simple
form
of
poisoning
unclassified
yet
in
our
toxicology
.
In
the
other
there
is
some
influence
at
work
which
is
not
classified
in
any
book
that
I
know
--
outside
the
pages
of
romance
.
I
never
felt
in
my
life
so
strongly
the
truth
of
Hamlet
's
words
:
442
'
There
are
more
things
in
Heaven
and
earth
...
Than
are
dreamt
of
in
your
philosophy
.
'
443
"
Let
us
take
the
'
Fact
'
side
first
.

Here
we
have
a
man
in
his
home
;
amidst
his
own
household
;
plenty
of
servants
of
different
classes
in
the
house
,
which
forbids
the
possibility
of
an
organised
attempt
made
from
the
servants
"
hall
.
He
is
wealthy
,
learned
,
clever
.
From
his
physiognomy
there
is
no
doubting
that
he
is
a
man
of
iron
will
and
determined
purpose
.
His
daughter
--
his
only
child
,
I
take
it
,
a
young
girl
bright
and
clever
--
is
sleeping
in
the
very
next
room
to
his
.
There
is
seemingly
no
possible
reason
for
expecting
any
attack
or
disturbance
of
any
kind
;
and
no
reasonable
opportunity
for
any
outsider
to
effect
it
.
And
yet
we
have
an
attack
made
;
a
brutal
and
remorseless
attack
,
made
in
the
middle
of
the
night
.
Discovery
is
made
quickly
;
made
with
that
rapidity
which
in
criminal
cases
generally
is
found
to
be
not
accidental
,
but
of
premeditated
intent
.
The
attacker
,
or
attackers
,
are
manifestly
disturbed
before
the
completion
of
their
work
,
whatever
their
ultimate
intent
may
have
been
.
And
yet
there
is
no
possible
sign
of
their
escape
;
no
clue
,
no
disturbance
of
anything
;
no
open
door
or
window
;
no
sound
.
Nothing
whatever
to
show
who
had
done
the
deed
,
or
even
that
a
deed
has
been
done
;
except
the
victim
,
and
his
surroundings
incidental
to
the
deed
!
445
"
The
next
night
a
similar
attempt
is
made
,
though
the
house
is
full
of
wakeful
people
;
and
though
there
are
on
watch
in
the
room
and
around
it
a
detective
officer
,
a
trained
nurse
,
an
earnest
friend
,
and
the
man
's
own
daughter
.
446
The
nurse
is
thrown
into
a
catalepsy
,
and
the
watching
friend
--
though
protected
by
a
respirator
--
into
a
deep
sleep
.
Even
the
detective
is
so
far
overcome
with
some
phase
of
stupor
that
he
fires
off
his
pistol
in
the
sick-room
,
and
ca
n't
even
tell
what
he
thought
he
was
firing
at
.
That
respirator
of
yours
is
the
only
thing
that
seems
to
have
a
bearing
on
the
'
fact
'
side
of
the
affair
.
That
you
did
not
lose
your
head
as
the
others
did
--
the
effect
in
such
case
being
in
proportion
to
the
amount
of
time
each
remained
in
the
room
--
points
to
the
probability
that
the
stupefying
medium
was
not
hypnotic
,
whatever
else
it
may
have
been
.
But
again
,
there
is
a
fact
which
is
contradictory
.
Miss
Trelawny
,
who
was
in
the
room
more
than
any
of
you
--
for
she
was
in
and
out
all
the
time
and
did
her
share
of
permanent
watching
also
--
did
not
seem
to
be
affected
at
all
.
This
would
show
that
the
influence
,
whatever
it
is
,
does
not
affect
generally
--
unless
,
of
course
,
it
was
that
she
was
in
some
way
inured
to
it
.
If
it
should
turn
out
that
it
be
some
strange
exhalation
from
some
of
those
Egyptian
curios
,
that
might
account
for
it
;
only
,
we
are
then
face
to
face
with
the
fact
that
Mr.
Trelawny
,
who
was
most
of
all
in
the
room
--
who
,
in
fact
,
lived
more
than
half
his
life
in
it
--
was
affected
worst
of
all
.
What
kind
of
influence
could
it
be
which
would
account
for
all
these
different
and
contradictory
effects
?
No
!
the
more
I
think
of
this
form
of
the
dilemma
,
the
more
I
am
bewildered
!
Why
,
even
if
it
were
that
the
attack
,
the
physical
attack
,
on
Mr.
447
Trelawny
had
been
made
by
some
one
residing
in
the
house
and
not
within
the
sphere
of
suspicion
,
the
oddness
of
the
stupefyings
would
still
remain
a
mystery
.
It
is
not
easy
to
put
anyone
into
a
catalepsy
.
Indeed
,
so
far
as
is
known
yet
in
science
,
there
is
no
way
to
achieve
such
an
object
at
will
.
The
crux
of
the
whole
matter
is
Miss
Trelawny
,
who
seems
to
be
subject
to
none
of
the
influences
,
or
possibly
of
the
variants
of
the
same
influence
at
work
.
Through
all
she
goes
unscathed
,
except
for
that
one
slight
semi-faint
.
It
is
most
strange
!

I
listened
with
a
sinking
heart
;
for
,
though
his
manner
was
not
illuminative
of
distrust
,
his
argument
was
disturbing
.
Although
it
was
not
so
direct
as
the
suspicion
of
the
Detective
,
it
seemed
to
single
out
Miss
Trelawny
as
different
from
all
others
concerned
;
and
in
a
mystery
to
be
alone
is
to
be
suspected
,
ultimately
if
not
immediately
.
I
thought
it
better
not
to
say
anything
.
In
such
a
case
silence
is
indeed
golden
;
and
if
I
said
nothing
now
I
might
have
less
to
defend
,
or
explain
,
or
take
back
later
.
I
was
,
therefore
,
secretly
glad
that
his
form
of
putting
his
argument
did
not
require
any
answer
from
me
--
for
the
present
,
at
all
events
.
Doctor
Winchester
did
not
seem
to
expect
any
answer
--
a
fact
which
,
when
I
recognised
it
,
gave
my
pleasure
,
I
hardly
knew
why
.
He
paused
for
a
while
,
sitting
with
his
chin
in
his
hand
,
his
eyes
staring
at
vacancy
,
whilst
his
brows
were
fixed
.
His
cigar
was
held
limp
between
his
fingers
;
he
had
apparently
forgotten
it
.
449
In
an
even
voice
,
as
though
commencing
exactly
where
he
had
left
off
,
he
resumed
his
argument
:
450
"
The
other
horn
of
the
dilemma
is
a
different
affair
altogether
;
and
if
we
once
enter
on
it
we
must
leave
everything
in
the
shape
of
science
and
experience
behind
us
.
I
confess
that
it
has
its
fascinations
for
me
;
though
at
every
new
thought
I
find
myself
romancing
in
a
way
that
makes
me
pull
up
suddenly
and
look
facts
resolutely
in
the
face
.
I
sometimes
wonder
whether
the
influence
or
emanation
from
the
sick-room
at
times
affects
me
as
it
did
the
others
--
the
Detective
,
for
instance
.
Of
course
it
may
be
that
if
it
is
anything
chemical
,
any
drug
,
for
example
,
in
vaporeal
form
,
its
effects
may
be
cumulative
.
But
then
,
what
could
there
be
that
could
produce
such
an
effect
?
The
room
is
,
I
know
,
full
of
mummy
smell
;
and
no
wonder
,
with
so
many
relics
from
the
tomb
,
let
alone
the
actual
mummy
of
that
animal
which
Silvio
attacked
.
By
the
way
,
I
am
going
to
test
him
tomorrow
;
I
have
been
on
the
trace
of
a
mummy
cat
,
and
am
to
get
possession
of
it
in
the
morning
.
When
I
bring
it
here
we
shall
find
out
if
it
be
a
fact
that
racial
instinct
can
survive
a
few
thousand
years
in
the
grave
.
However
,
to
get
back
to
the
subject
in
hand
.
These
very
mummy
smells
arise
from
the
presence
of
substances
,
and
combinations
of
substances
,
which
the
Egyptian
priests
,
who
were
the
learned
men
and
scientists
of
their
time
,
found
by
the
experience
of
centuries
to
be
strong
enough
to
arrest
the
natural
forces
of
decay
.
