'Do nothing of the kind, said Jingle. 'Leave the room, Sir no business here lady's free to act as she pleases more than one-and-twenty. 'More than one-and-twenty! ejaculated Wardle contemptuously.

Then, having taken counsel of the plan of the passage that I had brought with me, and which, in signs that none but the initiated can read, was copied from those ancient writings that had come down to me through one-and-forty generations of my predecessors, the Priests of this Pyramid of Her, and of the worship of the Temple of the Divine Menkau-ra, the Osirian, I led the way through that darksome place towards the utter silence of the tomb.
