Lampton's bedroom was at the back of it, as was also the one which had been set apart for his sister; it by right belonged to the Overseer-General and Controller of the Excavations and Monuments of Upper Egypt. Margaret Lampton was to use it and her brother was to evacuate his room when the overseer announced that he was coming to pay one of his visits of inspection to the camp.
All the same, his opinions and thoughts, apart from his profession, were apt to be strangled and suffocated by tradition. Tradition was a mighty force in the Lampton family. It almost, as Meg said, amounted to ancestor-worship. Freddy's choice of a profession had been his one act of emancipation.
Let your ideas materialize. You are never really idle you will be sending thought-waves out into the world; they will bear fruit. Thought never dies; for good or for evil, it is everlasting." "But I have been thinking or drifting, as Lampton says, just idly drifting, for what seems to me like ages." "Drifting closer to the Light," Hadassah said.
All that I know about it, Lampton also knows. . . . Some day, I hope, if we meet again, I will tell you the whole thing. It's an odd story, even for Egypt." The man looked annoyed. "You can't tell me anything more? Have you any information that could help us? We have our suspicions that things aren't straight.
Fleeting pictures of Lampton as a girl rose and faded before his eyes as he hurriedly shaved himself, slipped into his flannels and adjusted his necktie as punctiliously as though he were going to a tennis-party at Mena House Hotel.
Some lover's questions followed, questions which Margaret had to answer, the sort of questions every woman knows whom love has not passed over, questions which Margaret, with all her fine Lampton brains and common sense, did not think foolish, questions which she answered more easily and accurately than any ever set to her in college or university examinations.
She ought to have arrived that afternoon. When at last she got on to the right number, she was answered by the husband of the landlady, an ex-butler, and an admirable maître de cuisine. "Has Mrs. Ireton arrived yet?" Margaret asked. "Yes, she arrived at five o'clock. Who shall I say speaking?" "Ask her if she can speak to Miss Lampton, please, for a few minutes.
As they all turned to look at him, he said: "A person has called to see Miss Lampton." "Who is it?" Margaret said. Her thoughts flew to her dressmaker, who was hurriedly making a light frock, bought ready-made, the proper length for her; in all other respects it fitted her. "I don't know, miss. She has a box in her arms." "Oh, I'll go," Margaret said. "I won't be long."
Beside Lampton lay one of the pack-horses, also dead, and another pack-horse lay a little further off, suffering greatly from two broken legs. To put this animal out of its misery James Morris fired a shot into its brain. Great confusion was on all sides, for many of the packs had been broken open and rifled of their most valuable contents.
This woman, who loved his master for already Millicent's dragoman had confided her secret to him was very rarely beautiful, and in his eyes very desirable; but she was false. His eyes had instantly seen beyond. Because she was false she interested him. She was not like other Englishwomen; she was not like the girl who was the sister of Effendi Lampton.
