"This is Peabody's darkroom, where he develops the flash-lights he takes of the hieroglyphs! Chester has a right to be furious!" Impulsively she would have pushed past Everett; but with an exclamation he sprang in front of her. "No!" he commanded, "come away!" He had fallen into a sudden panic. His tone spoke of some catastrophe, imminent and overwhelming.
