"
My
God
!
"
he
said
,
as
he
raised
his
hand
from
the
chair
back
on
which
it
rested
,
and
beat
it
down
with
a
violence
which
would
in
itself
have
arrested
attention
.
His
brows
corrugated
as
he
went
on
:
"
I
quite
forgot
!
What
a
loss
!
Now
of
all
times
!
Just
at
the
moment
of
success
!
He
lying
there
helpless
,
and
my
tongue
tied
!
Not
able
to
raise
hand
or
foot
in
my
ignorance
of
his
wishes
!
"
532
"
What
is
it
?
Oh
,
do
tell
us
!
I
am
so
anxious
about
my
dear
Father
!
Is
it
any
new
trouble
?
I
hope
not
!
oh
,
I
hope
not
!
I
have
had
such
anxiety
and
trouble
already
!
It
alarms
me
afresh
to
hear
you
speak
so
!
Wo
n't
you
tell
me
something
to
allay
this
terrible
anxiety
and
uncertainty
?
"
533
He
drew
his
sturdy
form
up
to
his
full
height
as
he
said
:

"
Alas
!
I
can
not
,
may
not
,
tell
you
anything
.
It
is
his
secret
.
"
He
pointed
to
the
bed
.
"
And
yet
--
and
yet
I
came
here
for
his
advice
,
his
counsel
,
his
assistance
.
And
he
lies
there
helpless
...
.
535
And
time
is
flying
by
us
!
It
may
soon
be
too
late
!

What
is
it
?
what
is
it

broke
in
Miss
Trelawny
in
a
sort
of
passion
of
anxiety
,
her
face
drawn
with
pain
.
"
Oh
,
speak
!
Say
something
!
This
anxiety
,
and
horror
,
and
mystery
are
killing
me
!
"
Mr.
Corbeck
calmed
himself
by
a
great
effort
.
537
"
I
may
not
tell
you
details
;
but
I
have
had
a
great
loss
.
My
mission
,
in
which
I
have
spent
three
years
,
was
successful
.
I
discovered
all
that
I
sought
--
and
more
;
and
brought
them
home
with
me
safely
.
Treasures
,
priceless
in
themselves
,
but
doubly
precious
to
him
by
whose
wishes
and
instructions
I
sought
them
.
I
arrived
in
London
only
last
night
,
and
when
I
woke
this
morning
my
precious
charge
was
stolen
.
Stolen
in
some
mysterious
way
.
Not
a
soul
in
London
knew
that
I
was
arriving
.
No
one
but
myself
knew
what
was
in
the
shabby
portmanteau
that
I
carried
.
My
room
had
but
one
door
,
and
that
I
locked
and
bolted
.
The
room
was
high
in
the
house
,
five
stories
up
,
so
that
no
entrance
could
have
been
obtained
by
the
window
.
Indeed
,
I
had
closed
the
window
myself
and
shut
the
hasp
,
for
I
wished
to
be
secure
in
every
way
.
This
morning
the
hasp
was
untouched
...
.
And
yet
my
portmanteau
was
empty
.
The
lamps
were
gone
!
...
There
!
it
is
out
.
I
went
to
Egypt
to
search
for
a
set
of
antique
lamps
which
Mr.
Trelawny
wished
to
trace
.
With
incredible
labour
,
and
through
many
dangers
,
I
followed
them
.
I
brought
them
safe
home
...
.
And
now
!
"
He
turned
away
much
moved
.
Even
his
iron
nature
was
breaking
down
under
the
sense
of
loss
.

Miss
Trelawny
stepped
over
and
laid
her
hand
on
his
arm
.
I
looked
at
her
in
amazement
.
All
the
passion
and
pain
which
had
so
moved
her
seemed
to
have
taken
the
form
of
resolution
.
Her
form
was
erect
,
her
eyes
blazed
;
energy
was
manifest
in
every
nerve
and
fibre
of
her
being
.
Even
her
voice
was
full
of
nervous
power
as
she
spoke
.
It
was
apparent
that
she
was
a
marvellously
strong
woman
,
and
that
her
strength
could
answer
when
called
upon
.
539
"
We
must
act
at
once
!
My
Father
's
wishes
must
be
carried
out
if
it
is
possible
to
us
.
Mr.
Ross
,
you
are
a
lawyer
.
We
have
actually
in
the
house
a
man
whom
you
consider
one
of
the
best
detectives
in
London
.
Surely
we
can
do
something
.
We
can
begin
at
once
!
"
Mr.
Corbeck
took
new
life
from
her
enthusiasm
.
540
"
Good
!
You
are
your
Father
's
daughter
!
"
was
all
he
said
.
But
his
admiration
for
her
energy
was
manifested
by
the
impulsive
way
in
which
he
took
her
hand
.
I
moved
over
to
the
door
.
I
was
going
to
bring
Sergeant
Daw
;
and
from
her
look
of
approval
,
I
knew
that
Margaret
--
Miss
Trelawny
--
understood
.
I
was
at
the
door
when
Mr.
Corbeck
called
me
back
.
