At
Alexandria
,
Trelawny
found
waiting
a
cable
stating
that
Mrs.
Trelawny
had
died
in
giving
birth
to
a
daughter
.
"
Her
stricken
husband
hurried
off
at
once
by
the
Orient
Express
;
and
I
had
to
bring
the
treasure
alone
to
the
desolate
house
.
I
got
to
London
all
safe
;
there
seemed
to
be
some
special
good
fortune
to
our
journey
.
When
I
got
to
this
house
,
the
funeral
had
long
been
over
.
The
child
had
been
put
out
to
nurse
,
and
Mr.
Trelawny
had
so
far
recovered
from
the
shock
of
his
loss
that
he
had
set
himself
to
take
up
again
the
broken
threads
of
his
life
and
his
work
.
That
he
had
had
a
shock
,
and
a
bad
one
,
was
apparent
.
The
sudden
grey
in
his
black
hair
was
proof
enough
in
itself
;
but
in
addition
,
the
strong
cast
of
his
features
had
become
set
and
stern
.
Since
he
received
that
cable
in
the
shipping
office
at
Alexandria
I
have
never
seen
a
happy
smile
on
his
face
.
"
Work
is
the
best
thing
in
such
a
case
;
and
to
his
work
he
devoted
himself
heart
and
soul
.
The
strange
tragedy
of
his
loss
and
gain
--
for
the
child
was
born
after
the
mother
's
death
--
took
place
during
the
time
that
we
stood
in
that
trance
in
the
Mummy
Pit
of
Queen
Tera
.
It
seemed
to
have
become
in
some
way
associated
with
his
Egyptian
studies
,
and
more
especially
with
the
mysteries
connected
with
the
Queen
.
He
told
me
very
little
about
his
daughter
;
but
that
two
forces
struggled
in
his
mind
regarding
her
was
apparent
.
I
could
see
that
he
loved
,
almost
idolised
her
.
Yet
he
could
never
forget
that
her
birth
had
cost
her
mother
's
life
.
Also
,
there
was
something
whose
existence
seemed
to
wring
his
father
's
heart
,
though
he
would
never
tell
me
what
it
was
.
Again
,
he
once
said
in
a
moment
of
relaxation
of
his
purpose
of
silence
:
"
'S
he
is
unlike
her
mother
;
but
in
both
feature
and
colour
she
has
a
marvellous
resemblance
to
the
pictures
of
Queen
Tera
.
'
"
He
said
that
he
had
sent
her
away
to
people
who
would
care
for
her
as
he
could
not
;
and
that
till
she
became
a
woman
she
should
have
all
the
simple
pleasures
that
a
young
girl
might
have
,
and
that
were
best
for
her
.
I
would
often
have
talked
with
him
about
her
;
but
he
would
never
say
much
.
Once
he
said
to
me
:
'
There
are
reasons
why
I
should
not
speak
more
than
is
necessary
.
Some
day
you
will
know
--
and
understand
!
'
I
respected
his
reticence
;
and
beyond
asking
after
her
on
my
return
after
a
journey
,
I
have
never
spoken
of
her
again
.
I
had
never
seen
her
till
I
did
so
in
your
presence
.
"
Well
,
when
the
treasures
which
we
had
--
ah
!
--
taken
from
the
tomb
had
been
brought
here
,
Mr.
Trelawny
arranged
their
disposition
himself
.
The
mummy
,
all
except
the
severed
hand
,
he
placed
in
the
great
ironstone
sarcophagus
in
the
hall
.
This
was
wrought
for
the
Theban
High
Priest
Uni
,
and
is
,
as
you
may
have
remarked
,
all
inscribed
with
wonderful
invocations
to
the
old
Gods
of
Egypt
.
The
rest
of
the
things
from
the
tomb
he
disposed
about
his
own
room
,
as
you
have
seen
.
Amongst
them
he
placed
,
for
special
reasons
of
his
own
,
the
mummy
hand
.
I
think
he
regards
this
as
the
most
sacred
of
his
possessions
,
with
perhaps
one
exception
.
That
is
the
carven
ruby
which
he
calls
the
'
Jewel
of
Seven
Stars
'
,
which
he
keeps
in
that
great
safe
which
is
locked
and
guarded
by
various
devices
,
as
you
know
.
"
I
dare
say
you
find
this
tedious
;
but
I
have
had
to
explain
it
,
so
that
you
should
understand
all
up
to
the
present
.
It
was
a
long
time
after
my
return
with
the
mummy
of
Queen
Tera
when
Mr.
Trelawny
re-opened
the
subject
with
me
.
He
had
been
several
times
to
Egypt
,
sometimes
with
me
and
sometimes
alone
;
and
I
had
been
several
trips
,
on
my
own
account
or
for
him
.
But
in
all
that
time
,
nearly
sixteen
years
,
he
never
mentioned
the
subject
,
unless
when
some
pressing
occasion
suggested
,
if
it
did
not
necessitate
,
a
reference
.
"
One
morning
early
he
sent
for
me
in
a
hurry
;
I
was
then
studying
in
the
British
Museum
,
and
had
rooms
in
Hart
Street
.
When
I
came
,
he
was
all
on
fire
with
excitement
.
I
had
not
seen
him
in
such
a
glow
since
before
the
news
of
his
wife
's
death
.
He
took
me
at
once
into
his
room
.
The
window
blinds
were
down
and
the
shutters
closed
;
not
a
ray
of
daylight
came
in
.
The
ordinary
lights
in
the
room
were
not
lit
,
but
there
were
a
lot
of
powerful
electric
lamps
,
fifty
candle-power
at
least
,
arranged
on
one
side
of
the
room
.
The
little
bloodstone
table
on
which
the
heptagonal
coffer
stands
was
drawn
to
the
centre
of
the
room
.
The
coffer
looked
exquisite
in
the
glare
of
light
which
shone
on
it
.
It
actually
seemed
to
glow
as
if
lit
in
some
way
from
within
.
