Trelawny
and
Nurse
Kennedy
--
and
in
less
degree
on
Sergeant
Daw
--
had
not
touched
me
.
The
respirator
had
been
of
some
service
,
though
it
had
not
kept
off
the
tragedy
whose
dire
evidences
were
before
me
.
I
can
understand
now
--
I
could
understand
even
then
--
the
fright
,
added
to
that
which
had
gone
before
,
which
my
appearance
must
have
evoked
.
I
had
still
on
the
respirator
,
which
covered
mouth
and
nose
;
my
hair
had
been
tossed
in
my
sleep
.
Coming
suddenly
forward
,
thus
enwrapped
and
dishevelled
,
in
that
horrified
crowd
,
I
must
have
had
,
in
the
strange
mixture
of
lights
,
an
extraordinary
and
terrifying
appearance
.
It
was
well
that
I
recognised
all
this
in
time
to
avert
another
catastrophe
;
for
the
half-dazed
,
mechanically-acting
Detective
put
in
the
cartridges
and
had
raised
his
revolver
to
shoot
at
me
when
I
succeeded
in
wrenching
off
the
respirator
and
shouting
to
him
to
hold
his
hand
.
In
this
also
he
acted
mechanically
;
the
red
,
half-awake
eyes
had
not
in
them
even
then
the
intention
of
conscious
action
.
The
danger
,
however
,
was
averted
.
The
relief
of
the
situation
,
strangely
enough
,
came
in
a
simple
fashion
.
Mrs.
Grant
,
seeing
that
her
young
mistress
had
on
only
her
nightdress
,
had
gone
to
fetch
a
dressing-gown
,
which
she
now
threw
over
her
.
This
simple
act
brought
us
all
back
to
the
region
of
fact
.
With
a
long
breath
,
one
and
all
seemed
to
devote
themselves
to
the
most
pressing
matter
before
us
,
that
of
staunching
the
flow
of
blood
from
the
arm
of
the
wounded
man
.
Even
as
the
thought
of
action
came
,
I
rejoiced
;
for
the
bleeding
was
very
proof
that
Mr.
232
Trelawny
still
lived
.
233
Last
night
's
lesson
was
not
thrown
away
.
More
than
one
of
those
present
knew
now
what
to
do
in
such
an
emergency
,
and
within
a
few
seconds
willing
hands
were
at
work
on
a
tourniquet
.
A
man
was
at
once
despatched
for
the
doctor
,
and
several
of
the
servants
disappeared
to
make
themselves
respectable
.
We
lifted
Mr.
Trelawny
on
to
the
sofa
where
he
had
lain
yesterday
;
and
,
having
done
what
we
could
for
him
,
turned
our
attention
to
the
Nurse
.
In
all
the
turmoil
she
had
not
stirred
;
she
sat
there
as
before
,
erect
and
rigid
,
breathing
softly
and
naturally
and
with
a
placid
smile
.
As
it
was
manifestly
of
no
use
to
attempt
anything
with
her
till
the
doctor
had
come
,
we
began
to
think
of
the
general
situation
.

Mrs.
Grant
had
by
this
time
taken
her
mistress
away
and
changed
her
clothes
;
for
she
was
back
presently
in
a
dressing-gown
and
slippers
,
and
with
the
traces
of
blood
removed
from
her
hands
.
She
was
now
much
calmer
,
though
she
trembled
sadly
;
and
her
face
was
ghastly
white
.
When
she
had
looked
at
her
father
's
wrist
,
I
holding
the
tourniquet
,
she
turned
her
eyes
round
the
room
,
resting
them
now
and
again
on
each
one
of
us
present
in
turn
,
but
seeming
to
find
no
comfort
.
It
was
so
apparent
to
me
that
she
did
not
know
where
to
begin
or
whom
to
trust
that
,
to
reassure
her
,
I
said
:
235
"
I
am
all
right
now
;
I
was
only
asleep
.
236
"
Her
voice
had
a
gulp
in
it
as
she
said
in
a
low
voice
:
237
"
Asleep
!
You
!
and
my
Father
in
danger
!
I
thought
you
were
on
the
watch
!
"
I
felt
the
sting
of
justice
in
the
reproach
;
but
I
really
wanted
to
help
her
,
so
I
answered
:

238
"
Only
asleep
.
It
is
bad
enough
,
I
know
;
but
there
is
something
more
than
an
"
only
"
round
us
here
.
Had
it
not
been
that
I
took
a
definite
precaution
I
might
have
been
like
the
Nurse
there
.
"
She
turned
her
eyes
swiftly
on
the
weird
figure
,
sitting
grimly
upright
like
a
painted
statue
;
and
then
her
face
softened
.
With
the
action
of
habitual
courtesy
she
said
:
239
"
Forgive
me
!
I
did
not
mean
to
be
rude
.
But
I
am
in
such
distress
and
fear
that
I
hardly
know
what
I
am
saying
.
Oh
,
it
is
dreadful
!
I
fear
for
fresh
trouble
and
horror
and
mystery
every
moment
.
"
This
cut
me
to
the
very
heart
,
and
out
of
the
heart
's
fulness
I
spoke
:
240
"
Do
n't
give
me
a
thought
!
I
do
n't
deserve
it
.
I
was
on
guard
,
and
yet
I
slept
.
All
that
I
can
say
is
that
I
did
n't
mean
to
,
and
I
tried
to
avoid
it
;
but
it
was
over
me
before
I
knew
it
.
Anyhow
,
it
is
done
now
;
and
ca
n't
be
undone
.
Probably
some
day
we
may
understand
it
all
;
but
now
let
us
try
to
get
at
some
idea
of
what
has
happened
.
Tell
me
what
you
remember
!
"
The
effort
to
recollect
seemed
to
stimulate
her
;
she
became
calmer
as
she
spoke
:
