How
do
you
mean
?

Master
Silvio
will
do
the
attacking
;
the
other
one
will
do
the
suffering
.

Suffering
?
"
There
was
a
note
of
pain
in
her
voice
.
The
Doctor
smiled
more
broadly
:

"
Oh
,
please
make
your
mind
easy
as
to
that
.
The
other
wo
n't
suffer
as
we
understand
it
;
except
perhaps
in
his
structure
and
outfit
.
"
205
"
What
on
earth
do
you
mean
?
"
206
"
Simply
this
,
my
dear
young
lady
,
that
the
antagonist
will
be
a
mummy
cat
like
this
one
.
There
are
,
I
take
it
,
plenty
of
them
to
be
had
in
Museum
Street
.
I
shall
get
one
and
place
it
here
instead
of
that
one
--
you
wo
n't
think
that
a
temporary
exchange
will
violate
your
Father
's
instructions
,
I
hope
.
We
shall
then
find
out
,
to
begin
with
,
whether
Silvio
objects
to
all
mummy
cats
,
or
only
to
this
one
in
particular
.
"
207
"
I
do
n't
know
,
"
she
said
doubtfully
.

"
Father
's
instructions
seem
very
uncompromising
.
"
Then
after
a
pause
she
went
on
:
"
But
of
course
under
the
circumstances
anything
that
is
to
be
ultimately
for
his
good
must
be
done
.
I
suppose
there
ca
n't
be
anything
very
particular
about
the
mummy
of
a
cat
.

Doctor
Winchester
said
nothing
.
He
sat
rigid
,
with
so
grave
a
look
on
his
face
that
his
extra
gravity
passed
on
to
me
;
and
in
its
enlightening
perturbation
I
began
to
realise
more
than
I
had
yet
done
the
strangeness
of
the
case
in
which
I
was
now
so
deeply
concerned
.
When
once
this
thought
had
begun
there
was
no
end
to
it
.
Indeed
it
grew
,
and
blossomed
,
and
reproduced
itself
in
a
thousand
different
ways
.
The
room
and
all
in
it
gave
grounds
for
strange
thoughts
.
There
were
so
many
ancient
relics
that
unconsciously
one
was
taken
back
to
strange
lands
and
strange
times
.
There
were
so
many
mummies
or
mummy
objects
,
round
which
there
seemed
to
cling
for
ever
the
penetrating
odours
of
bitumen
,
and
spices
and
gums
--
"
Nard
and
Circassia
's
balmy
smells
"
--
that
one
was
unable
to
forget
the
past
.
Of
course
,
there
was
but
little
light
in
the
room
,
and
that
carefully
shaded
;
so
that
there
was
no
glare
anywhere
.
None
of
that
direct
light
which
can
manifest
itself
as
a
power
or
an
entity
,
and
so
make
for
companionship
.
The
room
was
a
large
one
,
and
lofty
in
proportion
to
its
size
.
In
its
vastness
was
place
for
a
multitude
of
things
not
often
found
in
a
bedchamber
.
In
far
corners
of
the
room
were
shadows
of
uncanny
shape
.
210
More
than
once
as
I
thought
,
the
multitudinous
presence
of
the
dead
and
the
past
took
such
hold
on
me
that
I
caught
myself
looking
round
fearfully
as
though
some
strange
personality
or
influence
was
present
.
Even
the
manifest
presence
of
Doctor
Winchester
and
Miss
Trelawny
could
not
altogether
comfort
or
satisfy
me
at
such
moments
.
It
was
with
a
distinct
sense
of
relief
that
I
saw
a
new
personality
in
the
room
in
the
shape
of
Nurse
Kennedy
.
There
was
no
doubt
that
that
business-like
,
self-reliant
,
capable
young
woman
added
an
element
of
security
to
such
wild
imaginings
as
my
own
.
She
had
a
quality
of
common
sense
that
seemed
to
pervade
everything
around
her
,
as
though
it
were
some
kind
of
emanation
.
Up
to
that
moment
I
had
been
building
fancies
around
the
sick
man
;
so
that
finally
all
about
him
,
including
myself
,
had
become
involved
in
them
,
or
enmeshed
,
or
saturated
,
or
...
But
now
that
she
had
come
,
he
relapsed
into
his
proper
perspective
as
a
patient
;
the
room
was
a
sick-room
,
and
the
shadows
lost
their
fearsome
quality
.
The
only
thing
which
it
could
not
altogether
abrogate
was
the
strange
Egyptian
smell
.
You
may
put
a
mummy
in
a
glass
case
and
hermetically
seal
it
so
that
no
corroding
air
can
get
within
;
but
all
the
same
it
will
exhale
its
odour
.
One
might
think
that
four
or
five
thousand
years
would
exhaust
the
olfactory
qualities
of
anything
;
but
experience
teaches
us
that
these
smells
remain
,
and
that
their
secrets
are
unknown
to
us
.
Today
they
are
as
much
mysteries
as
they
were
when
the
embalmers
put
the
body
in
the
bath
of
natron
...
