That is why I said 'excepting Chambers. But Chambers has been with his present master since Lashmore left Cambridge. It's out of the question." "Windows?" "First floor, no balcony, and overlook Hyde Park." "Is there no clue to the mystery?" "There are three!" "What are they?" "First: the nature of the wounds.
Two horrible desires of the Spirit Mirza would be gratified if a Dhoon could be made her victim the desire for blood and the desire for vengeance! The fate of Lord Lashmore would be sealed if that spirit could secure incarnation!" Dr. Cairn paused, glancing at his son, who was writing at furious speed. Then
The horrible attack made, a mighty will which, throughout her temporary incarnation, has held her like a hound in leash, has dragged her from her prey, has forced her to remove, from the garments clothing her borrowed body, all traces of the deed, and has cast her out again to the pit of abomination where her headless trunk was thrown by the third Baron Lashmore!
Lord Lashmore was a big, blonde man, fresh coloured, and having his nearly white hair worn close cut and his moustache trimmed in the neat military fashion. For a fair man, he had eyes of a singular colour. They were of so dark a shade of brown as to appear black: southern eyes; lending to his personality an oddness very striking. When he was shown into Dr.

He had suspected her for some considerable time, and had not only kept secret the birth of her son but had secluded the child from the mother.

"For a Lashmore, there was no difficulty in suppressing the facts, arranging a hasty second marriage and representing the boy as the child of the later union. Had the second marriage proved fruitful, this had been unnecessary; but an heir to Dhoon was essential." "I see.
But although you appear to be ignorant of the fact, the Pyramid of Méydûm was formerly one of the strong-holds the second greatest in all the land of the Nile of Ancient Egyptian sorcery! I pray heaven I may be wrong, but in the disappearance of Lady Lashmore, and in the story of Ali Mohammed, I see a dreadful possibility. Ring for a time-table. We have not a moment to waste!"
Cairn's library, the doctor regarded him with that searching scrutiny peculiar to men of his profession, at the same time inviting the visitor to be seated. Lashmore sat down in the red leathern armchair, resting his large hands upon his knees, with the fingers widely spread. He had a massive dignity, but was not entirely at his ease. Dr. Cairn opened the conversation, in his direct fashion.
Sir Elwin Groves, to whom I hinted something, mentioned your name. I am not quite clear upon one point, Dr. Cairn. Did he send me to you because he thought in a word, are you a mental specialist?"
