The
room
beyond
the
door
was
of
medium
size
,
and
had
no
furniture
save
a
table
,
a
single
chair
,
and
two
groups
of
curious
machines
with
clamps
and
wheels
,
which
Willett
recognized
after
a
moment
as
medieval
instruments
of
torture
.
On
one
side
of
the
door
stood
a
rack
of
savage
whips
,
above
which
were
some
shelves
bearing
empty
rows
of
shallow
pedestaled
cups
of
lead
shaped
like
Grecian
kylikes
.
On
the
other
side
was
the
table
;
with
a
powerful
Argand
lamp
,
a
pad
and
pencil
,
and
two
of
the
stoppered
lekythoi
from
the
shelves
outside
set
down
at
irregular
places
as
if
temporarily
or
in
haste
.
Willett
lighted
the
lamp
and
looked
carefully
at
the
pad
,
to
see
what
notes
Ward
might
have
been
jotting
down
when
interrupted
;
but
found
nothing
more
intelligible
than
the
following
disjointed
fragments
in
that
crabbed
Curwen
chirography
,
which
shed
no
light
on
the
case
as
a
whole
:

'
As
the
strong
Argand
blaze
lit
up
the
entire
chamber
the
doctor
saw
that
the
wall
opposite
the
door
,
between
the
two
groups
of
torturing
appliances
in
the
corners
,
was
covered
with
pegs
from
which
hung
a
set
of
shapeless-looking
robes
of
a
rather
dismal
yellowish-white
.
But
far
more
interesting
were
the
two
vacant
walls
,
both
of
which
were
thickly
covered
with
mystic
symbols
and
formulae
roughly
chiseled
in
the
smooth
dressed
stone
.
The
damp
floor
also
bore
marks
of
carving
;
and
with
but
little
difficulty
Willett
deciphered
a
huge
pentagram
in
the
center
,
with
a
plain
circle
about
three
feet
wide
half
way
between
this
and
each
corner
.
In
one
of
these
four
circles
,
near
where
a
yellowish
robe
had
been
flung
carelessly
down
,
there
stood
a
shallow
kylix
of
the
sort
found
on
the
shelves
above
the
whip-rack
;
and
just
outside
the
periphery
was
one
of
the
Phaleron
jugs
from
the
shelves
in
the
other
room
,
its
tag
numbered
118
.
This
was
unstoppered
,
and
proved
upon
inspection
to
be
empty
;
but
the
explorer
saw
with
a
shiver
that
the
kylix
was
not
.
Within
its
shallow
area
,
and
saved
from
scattering
only
by
the
absence
of
wind
in
this
sequestered
cavern
,
lay
a
small
amount
of
a
dry
,
dull-greenish
efflorescent
powder
which
must
have
belonged
in
the
jug
;
and
Willett
almost
reeled
at
the
implications
that
came
sweeping
over
him
as
he
correlated
little
by
little
the
several
elements
and
antecedents
of
the
scene
.
The
whips
and
the
instruments
of
torture
,
the
dust
or
salts
from
the
jug
of
"
Materia
"
,
the
two
lekythoi
from
the
"
Custodes
"
shelf
,
the
robes
,
the
formulae
on
the
walls
,
the
notes
on
the
pad
,
the
hints
from
letters
and
legends
,
and
the
thousand
glimpses
,
doubts
,
and
suppositions
which
had
come
to
torment
the
friends
and
parents
of
Charles
Ward
--
all
these
engulfed
the
doctor
in
a
tidal
wave
of
horror
as
he
looked
at
that
dry
greenish
powder
outspread
in
the
pedestaled
leaden
kylix
on
the
floor
.
With
an
effort
,
however
,
Willett
pulled
himself
together
and
began
studying
the
formulae
chiseled
on
the
walls
.
From
the
stained
and
incrusted
letters
it
was
obvious
that
they
were
carved
in
Joseph
Curwen
's
time
,
and
their
text
was
such
as
to
be
vaguely
familiar
to
one
who
had
read
much
Curwen
material
or
delved
extensively
into
the
history
of
magic
.
One
the
doctor
clearly
recognized
as
what
Mrs.
Ward
heard
her
son
chanting
on
that
ominous
Good
Friday
a
year
before
,
and
what
an
authority
had
told
him
was
a
very
terrible
invocation
addressed
to
secret
gods
outside
the
normal
spheres
.
It
was
not
spelled
here
exactly
as
Mrs.
Ward
had
set
it
down
from
memory
,
nor
yet
as
the
authority
had
shown
it
to
him
in
the
forbidden
pages
of
"
Eliphas
Levi
"
;
but
its
identity
was
unmistakable
,
and
such
words
as
Sabaoth
,
Metraton
,
Almonsin
,
and
Zariatnatmik
sent
a
shudder
of
fright
through
the
search
who
had
seen
and
felt
so
much
of
cosmic
abomination
just
around
the
corner
.
