Mr.
Corbeck
came
back
in
a
very
short
time
with
the
book
;
he
had
found
it
at
once
in
the
spot
where
he
had
seen
it
three
years
before
Having
placed
in
it
several
slips
of
paper
,
marking
the
places
where
I
was
to
read
,
he
put
it
into
my
hands
,
saying
:
"
That
is
what
started
Mr.
Trelawny
;
what
started
me
when
I
read
it
;
and
which
will
,
I
have
no
doubt
,
be
to
you
an
interesting
beginning
to
a
special
study
--
whatever
the
end
may
be
.
If
,
indeed
,
any
of
us
here
may
ever
see
the
end
.
"
At
the
door
he
paused
and
said
:
"
I
want
to
take
back
one
thing
.
That
Detective
is
a
good
fellow
.
What
you
have
told
me
of
him
puts
him
in
a
new
light
.
The
best
proof
of
it
is
that
I
can
go
quietly
to
sleep
tonight
,
and
leave
the
lamps
in
his
care
!
"
When
he
had
gone
I
took
the
book
with
me
,
put
on
my
respirator
,
and
went
to
my
spell
of
duty
in
the
sick-room
!
I
placed
the
book
on
the
little
table
on
which
the
shaded
lamp
rested
and
moved
the
screen
to
one
side
.
Thus
I
could
have
the
light
on
my
book
;
and
by
looking
up
,
see
the
bed
,
and
the
Nurse
,
and
the
door
.
I
can
not
say
that
the
conditions
were
enjoyable
,
or
calculated
to
allow
of
that
absorption
in
the
subject
which
is
advisable
for
effective
study
.
However
,
I
composed
myself
to
the
work
as
well
as
I
could
.
The
book
was
one
which
,
on
the
very
face
of
it
,
required
special
attention
.
It
was
a
folio
in
Dutch
,
printed
in
Amsterdam
in
1650
.
Some
one
had
made
a
literal
translation
,
writing
generally
the
English
word
under
the
Dutch
,
so
that
the
grammatical
differences
between
the
two
tongues
made
even
the
reading
of
the
translation
a
difficult
matter
.
One
had
to
dodge
backward
and
forward
among
the
words
.
This
was
in
addition
to
the
difficulty
of
deciphering
a
strange
handwriting
of
two
hundred
years
ago
.
I
found
,
however
,
that
after
a
short
time
I
got
into
the
habit
of
following
in
conventional
English
the
Dutch
construction
;
and
,
as
I
became
more
familiar
with
the
writing
,
my
task
became
easier
.
At
first
the
circumstances
of
the
room
,
and
the
fear
lest
Miss
Trelawny
should
return
unexpectedly
and
find
me
reading
the
book
,
disturbed
me
somewhat
.
For
we
had
arranged
amongst
us
,
before
Doctor
Winchester
had
gone
home
,
that
she
was
not
to
be
brought
into
the
range
of
the
coming
investigation
.
We
considered
that
there
might
be
some
shock
to
a
woman
's
mind
in
matters
of
apparent
mystery
;
and
further
,
that
she
,
being
Mr.
Trelawny
's
daughter
,
might
be
placed
in
a
difficult
position
with
him
afterward
if
she
took
part
in
,
or
even
had
a
personal
knowledge
of
,
the
disregarding
of
his
expressed
wishes
.
But
when
I
remembered
that
she
did
not
come
on
nursing
duty
till
two
o'clock
,
the
fear
of
interruption
passed
away
.
I
had
still
nearly
three
house
before
me
.
Nurse
Kennedy
sat
in
her
chair
by
the
bedside
,
patient
and
alert
.
A
clock
ticked
on
the
landing
;
other
clocks
in
the
house
ticked
;
the
life
of
the
city
without
manifested
itself
in
the
distant
hum
,
now
and
again
swelling
into
a
roar
as
a
breeze
floating
westward
took
the
concourse
of
sounds
with
it
.
But
still
the
dominant
idea
was
of
silence
.
The
light
on
my
book
,
and
the
soothing
fringe
of
green
silk
round
the
shade
intensified
,
whenever
I
looked
up
,
the
gloom
of
the
sick-room
.
With
every
line
I
read
,
this
seemed
to
grow
deeper
and
deeper
;
so
that
when
my
eyes
came
back
to
the
page
the
light
seemed
to
dazzle
me
.
I
stuck
to
my
work
,
however
,
and
presently
began
to
get
sufficiently
into
the
subject
to
become
interested
in
it
.
The
book
was
by
one
Nicholas
van
Huyn
of
Hoorn
.
In
the
preface
he
told
how
,
attracted
by
the
work
of
John
Greaves
of
Merton
College
,
Pyramidographia
,
he
himself
visited
Egypt
,
where
he
became
so
interested
in
its
wonders
that
he
devoted
some
years
of
his
life
to
visiting
strange
places
,
and
exploring
the
ruins
of
many
temples
and
tombs
.
He
had
come
across
many
variants
of
the
story
of
the
building
of
the
Pyramids
as
told
by
the
Arabian
historian
,
Ibn
Abd
Alhokin
,
some
of
which
he
set
down
.
