I
sat
looking
at
the
book
on
the
table
before
me
;
and
so
many
strange
thoughts
crowded
on
me
that
my
mind
began
to
whirl
.
It
was
almost
as
if
the
light
on
the
white
fingers
in
front
of
me
was
beginning
to
have
some
hypnotic
effect
.
All
at
once
,
all
thoughts
seemed
to
stop
;
and
for
an
instant
the
world
and
time
stood
still
.
There
lay
a
real
hand
across
the
book
!
What
was
there
to
so
overcome
me
,
as
was
the
case
?
I
knew
the
hand
that
I
saw
on
the
book
--
and
loved
it
.
Margaret
Trelawny
's
hand
was
a
joy
to
me
to
see
--
to
touch
;
and
yet
at
that
moment
,
coming
after
other
marvellous
things
,
it
had
a
strangely
moving
effect
on
me
.
It
was
but
momentary
,
however
,
and
had
passed
even
before
her
voice
had
reached
me
.
"
What
disturbs
you
?
What
are
you
staring
at
the
book
for
?
I
thought
for
an
instant
that
you
must
have
been
overcome
again
!
"
I
jumped
up
.
"
I
was
reading
,
"
I
said
,
"
an
old
book
from
the
library
.
"
As
I
spoke
I
closed
it
and
put
it
under
my
arm
.
"
I
shall
now
put
it
back
,
as
I
understand
that
your
Father
wishes
all
things
,
especially
books
,
kept
in
their
proper
places
.
"
My
words
were
intentionally
misleading
;
for
I
did
not
wish
her
to
know
what
I
was
reading
,
and
thought
it
best
not
to
wake
her
curiosity
by
leaving
the
book
about
.
I
went
away
,
but
not
to
the
library
;
I
left
the
book
in
my
room
where
I
could
get
it
when
I
had
had
my
sleep
in
the
day
.
When
I
returned
Nurse
Kennedy
was
ready
to
go
to
bed
;
so
Miss
Trelawny
watched
with
me
in
the
room
.
I
did
not
want
any
book
whilst
she
was
present
.
We
sat
close
together
and
talked
in
a
whisper
whilst
the
moments
flew
by
.
It
was
with
surprise
that
I
noted
the
edge
of
the
curtains
changing
from
grey
to
yellow
light
.
What
we
talked
of
had
nothing
to
do
with
the
sick
man
,
except
in
so
far
that
all
which
concerned
his
daughter
must
ultimately
concern
him
.
But
it
had
nothing
to
say
to
Egypt
,
or
mummies
,
or
the
dead
,
or
caves
,
or
Bedouin
chiefs
.
I
could
well
take
note
in
the
growing
light
that
Margaret
's
hand
had
not
seven
fingers
,
but
five
;
for
it
lay
in
mine
.
When
Doctor
Winchester
arrived
in
the
morning
and
had
made
his
visit
to
his
patient
,
he
came
to
see
me
as
I
sat
in
the
dining-room
having
a
little
meal
--
breakfast
or
supper
,
I
hardly
knew
which
it
was
--
before
I
went
to
lie
down
.
Mr.
Corbeck
came
in
at
the
same
time
;
and
we
resumed
out
conversation
where
we
had
left
it
the
night
before
.
I
told
Mr.
Corbeck
that
I
had
read
the
chapter
about
the
finding
of
the
tomb
,
and
that
I
thought
Doctor
Winchester
should
read
it
,
too
.
The
latter
said
that
,
if
he
might
,
he
would
take
it
with
him
;
he
had
that
morning
to
make
a
railway
journey
to
Ipswich
,
and
would
read
it
on
the
train
.
He
said
he
would
bring
it
back
with
him
when
he
came
again
in
the
evening
.
I
went
up
to
my
room
to
bring
it
down
;
but
I
could
not
find
it
anywhere
.
I
had
a
distinct
recollection
of
having
left
it
on
the
little
table
beside
my
bed
,
when
I
had
come
up
after
Miss
Trelawny
's
going
on
duty
into
the
sick-room
.
It
was
very
strange
;
for
the
book
was
not
of
a
kind
that
any
of
the
servants
would
be
likely
to
take
.
I
had
to
come
back
and
explain
to
the
others
that
I
could
not
find
it
.
When
Doctor
Winchester
had
gone
,
Mr.
Corbeck
,
who
seemed
to
know
the
Dutchman
's
work
by
heart
,
talked
the
whole
matter
over
with
me
.
I
told
him
that
I
was
interrupted
by
a
change
of
nurses
,
just
as
I
had
come
to
the
description
of
the
ring
.
He
smiled
as
he
said
:
"
So
far
as
that
is
concerned
,
you
need
not
be
disappointed
.
Not
in
Van
Huyn
's
time
,
nor
for
nearly
two
centuries
later
,
could
the
meaning
of
that
engraving
have
been
understood
.
It
was
only
when
the
work
was
taken
up
and
followed
by
Young
and
Champollion
,
by
Birch
and
Lepsius
and
Rosellini
and
Salvolini
,
by
Mariette
Bey
and
by
Wallis
Budge
and
Flinders
Petrie
and
the
other
scholars
of
their
times
that
great
results
ensued
,
and
that
the
true
meaning
of
hieroglyphic
was
known
.
"
Later
,
I
shall
explain
to
you
,
if
Mr.
Trelawny
does
not
explain
it
himself
,
or
if
he
does
not
forbid
me
to
,
what
it
means
in
that
particular
place
.
I
think
it
will
be
better
for
you
to
know
what
followed
Van
Huyn
's
narrative
;
for
with
the
description
of
the
stone
,
and
the
account
of
his
bringing
it
to
Holland
at
the
termination
of
his
travels
,
the
episode
ends
.
Ends
so
far
as
his
book
is
concerned
.
The
chief
thing
about
the
book
is
that
it
sets
others
thinking
--
and
acting
.
Amongst
them
were
Mr.
Trelawny
and
myself
.
Mr.
Trelawny
is
a
good
linguist
of
the
Orient
,
but
he
does
not
know
Northern
tongues
.
As
for
me
I
have
a
faculty
for
learning
languages
;
and
when
I
was
pursuing
my
studies
in
Leyden
I
learned
Dutch
so
that
I
might
more
easily
make
references
in
the
library
there
.
