We
set
to
work
at
once
;
and
before
nightfall
had
lowered
,
unhooked
,
and
placed
in
the
positions
designated
for
each
by
Trelawny
,
all
the
great
sarcophagi
and
all
the
curios
and
other
matters
which
we
had
taken
with
us
.
It
was
a
strange
and
weird
proceeding
,
the
placing
of
those
wonderful
monuments
of
a
bygone
age
in
that
green
cavern
,
which
represented
in
its
cutting
and
purpose
and
up-to-date
mechanism
and
electric
lights
both
the
old
world
and
the
new
.
But
as
time
went
on
I
grew
more
and
more
to
recognise
the
wisdom
and
correctness
of
Mr.
Trelawny
's
choice
.
I
was
much
disturbed
when
Silvio
,
who
had
been
brought
into
the
cave
in
the
arms
of
his
mistress
,
and
who
was
lying
asleep
on
my
coat
which
I
had
taken
off
,
sprang
up
when
the
cat
mummy
had
been
unpacked
,
and
flew
at
it
with
the
same
ferocity
which
he
had
previously
exhibited
.
The
incident
showed
Margaret
in
a
new
phase
,
and
one
which
gave
my
heart
a
pang
.
She
had
been
standing
quite
still
at
one
side
of
the
cave
leaning
on
a
sarcophagus
,
in
one
of
those
fits
of
abstraction
which
had
of
late
come
upon
her
;
but
on
hearing
the
sound
,
and
seeing
Silvio
's
violent
onslaught
,
she
seemed
to
fall
into
a
positive
fury
of
passion
.
Her
eyes
blazed
,
and
her
mouth
took
a
hard
,
cruel
tension
which
was
new
to
me
.
Instinctively
she
stepped
towards
Silvio
as
if
to
interfere
in
the
attack
.
But
I
too
had
stepped
forward
;
and
as
she
caught
my
eye
a
strange
spasm
came
upon
her
,
and
she
stopped
.
Its
intensity
made
me
hold
my
breath
;
and
I
put
up
my
hand
to
clear
my
eyes
.
When
I
had
done
this
,
she
had
on
the
instant
recovered
her
calm
,
and
there
was
a
look
of
brief
wonder
on
her
face
.
With
all
her
old
grace
and
sweetness
she
swept
over
and
lifted
Silvio
,
just
as
she
had
done
on
former
occasions
,
and
held
him
in
her
arms
,
petting
him
and
treating
him
as
though
he
were
a
little
child
who
had
erred
.
As
I
looked
a
strange
fear
came
over
me
.
The
Margaret
that
I
knew
seemed
to
be
changing
;
and
in
my
inmost
heart
I
prayed
that
the
disturbing
cause
might
soon
come
to
an
end
.
More
than
ever
I
longed
at
that
moment
that
our
terrible
Experiment
should
come
to
a
prosperous
termination
.
When
all
had
been
arranged
in
the
room
as
Mr.
Trelawny
wished
he
turned
to
us
,
one
after
another
,
till
he
had
concentrated
the
intelligence
of
us
all
upon
him
.
Then
he
said
:
"
All
is
now
ready
in
this
place
.
We
must
only
await
the
proper
time
to
begin
.
"
We
were
silent
for
a
while
Doctor
Winchester
was
the
first
to
speak
:
"
What
is
the
proper
time
?
Have
you
any
approximation
,
even
if
you
are
not
satisfied
as
to
the
exact
day
?
"
He
answered
at
once
:
"
After
the
most
anxious
thought
I
have
fixed
on
July
31
!
"
