These
lamps
have
gone
out
,
"
--
said
his
master
--
"
It
's
very
odd
that
civilized
humanity
has
not
yet
learned
the
complete
management
of
the
electric
light
.
Can
you
put
them
in
order
,
Amiel
?
"
"
Yes
,
your
excellency
.
"
And
in
a
few
moments
,
by
some
dexterous
manipulation
which
I
did
not
understand
and
could
not
see
,
the
crystal-cased
jets
shone
forth
again
with
renewed
brilliancy
.
Another
peal
of
thunder
crashed
overhead
,
followed
by
a
downpour
of
rain
.
"
Really
remarkable
weather
for
January
,
"
--
said
Rimânez
,
again
giving
me
his
hand
--
"
Good-night
my
friend
!
Sleep
well
.
"
"
If
the
anger
of
the
elements
will
permit
!
"
I
returned
,
smiling
.
"
Oh
,
never
mind
the
elements
.
Man
has
nearly
mastered
them
or
soon
will
do
so
,
now
that
he
is
getting
gradually
convinced
there
is
no
Deity
to
interfere
in
his
business
.
Amiel
,
show
Mr
Tempest
to
his
room
.
"
Amiel
obeyed
,
and
crossing
the
corridor
,
ushered
me
into
a
large
,
luxurious
apartment
,
richly
furnished
,
and
lit
up
by
the
blaze
of
a
bright
fire
.
The
comforting
warmth
shone
welcome
upon
me
as
I
entered
,
and
I
who
had
not
experienced
such
personal
luxury
since
my
boyhood
's
days
,
felt
more
than
ever
overpowered
by
the
jubilant
sense
of
my
sudden
extraordinary
good
fortune
.
Amiel
waited
respectfully
,
now
and
then
furtively
glancing
at
me
with
an
expression
which
to
my
fancy
had
something
derisive
in
it
.
"
Is
there
anything
I
can
do
for
you
sir
?
"
he
inquired
.
"
No
thank
you
,
"
--
I
answered
,
endeavouring
to
throw
an
accent
of
careless
condescension
into
my
voice
--
for
somehow
I
felt
this
man
must
be
kept
strictly
in
his
place
--
"
you
have
been
very
attentive
--
I
shall
not
forget
it
.
"
A
slight
smile
flickered
over
his
features
.
"
Much
obliged
to
you
,
sir
.
Good-night
.
"
