"Dr. Pinsent!"
"Who calls?" I shouted.
"I—May Ottley."
"Miss Ottley!" I hopped11 out of my bag bed like a cricket. "Just a moment." I struck a light and, grabbing at my clothes, proceeded to dress like mad. Thus for thirty seconds; then I remembered how I had been treated, and went slower. Then I thought—"Pinsent, you're a cad—she's a woman, and perhaps in trouble." So I got up steam again and called out, "Nothing wrong, I hope?"
"Yes," said Miss Ottley. Well, here was a woman of business, at any rate. She seemed to know the use of words, and valued them accordingly. Waste not, want not. I drew on my jacket and lifted the flap. An Arab rustled13 past me.
"Hello!" said I. "Not so fast, my man."
But it was Miss Ottley. I stepped back, bewildered. Her hair was tucked away in a sort of turban, and she was wrapped from head to heel in a burnous that had once been white—very long ago. But the costume, though dirty, was becoming. She sank upon a camp stool and asked at once for water. She seemed very tired. My bag was empty. I hurried off without a word to the barrel[Pg 15] in the temple. When I returned she was asleep where she sat. I touched her shoulder and she started up, suppressing a scream. "Now," said I, as she put down the cup. Miss Ottley stood up. "A bad thing has happened," she began. "The sarcophagus was filled with treasure, gold and silver in bars, and other things. The Arabs went mad. My father fought like a paladin and held them off for a day and a half. But soon after dark this evening a caravan14 arrived. The fight was renewed and my father was wounded. The Arabs secured the treasure and fled into the desert. The dragoman only kept faith with us. He has gone by the river to Khonsu for troops. I hurried here for you. I ran almost all the way. Will you come? Father is very ill. He has lost a lot of blood. He was shot in the shoulder."
I nodded, caught up my revolver and surgical15 pack and rushed out of the tent. In two minutes I had saddled the donkey. Miss Ottley was standing16 by the door of the tent. I lifted her on the beast and we started off in silence. An hour later she spoke17.
"There is one thing I like about you," she announced. "You haven't much to say for yourself, but you are a worker."
"Tu quoque," I replied. "You must have done that twelve miles in record time. It is not yet two o'clock."
"I made it in two hours, I think."
"You are an athlete, by Jove!"
[Pg 16]
"I am no bread-and-butter miss, at any rate. This donkey has a bad pace, don't you think?"
I kicked the brute18 into a trot19 and ran beside it. The Hill of Rakh soon began to loom20 large among the stars on the horizon. "I suppose you were pretty wild at our cavalier treatment of you the other evening," said Miss Ottley.
"Well, yes," I admitted.
"We were sorry when the fight came."
"No doubt," said I.
"It served us right, eh?"
"That is my opinion."
"I am thinking of your father's wound."
"Your twelve-mile run helps."
"But you are still angry with us?"
"Does it matter? I am serving you."
"Be generous," said Miss Ottley. "We have been sufficiently23 punished. Not only have we lost the treasure, but there was no mummy in the sarcophagus."
"Be a lady and apologise," I retorted.
"No," said she, with a most spirited inflection. "It is not a woman's place."
She was silent. We arrived an hour later at the mountain. I was bathed in perspiration25 and as tired as a dog. But Miss Ottley had no time to notice my condition. She slipped off the[Pg 17] donkey and hurried away through the smaller of the three pylons26 that fronted a small temple hollowed out of the rock face of the hill. There was no sign of tent, so I concluded that Sir Robert had made his camp within the temple. I hitched27 the ass28 to a stake and cooled off, thanking Providence29 for a cool breeze that swept up from the placid30 surface of the Nile. Day was already showing signs of breaking, and a broad flight of long-legged flamingoes hurried its coming with a flash of scarlet31 just above the eastern horizon. The distant howling of a hyena32 was borne to me in fitful snatches on the wind. The earth was wrapped in mystery and melancholy33. Oh, Egypt! Egypt, land of sun-lit spaces and illimitable shadows; of grandeur34 and of squalor without peer; of happy dreams and sad awakenings; of centuries ingloriously oblivious35 of glory; of sleep and sphinx-browed, age-bound silences; of darkly smiling and impotent despair. What a mistress for a man of curiosity and of imagination! Little wonder that since I had been caught in her magic and most jealous spell the face of no human being had possessed36 the power to threaten her supremacy37 or cancel my allegiance to the mystic desert queen.
"Dr. Pinsent!"
I awoke from my reverie with a start. "This way," said Miss Ottley. I bowed and followed her into the temple, through a broad but low stone doorway38, past a row of broken granite39 columns. A[Pg 18] light within showed us the path. The chamber40 was about eighteen feet square; there was another of equal size beyond it, in the heart of the hill. An immense sarcophagus composed entirely41 of lead almost blocked the door. The lid, carved to represent the figure and face of a tall grave-featured man, was propped42 up on end against a pillar. The sarcophagus was empty. Beyond stood a trestle cot, a table and a lamp. Sir Robert Ottley lay upon the cot. He was awake, but evidently unconscious, and in a high fever. I examined his wound and prepared for action. There was an oil stove in the room. I lighted it and set water to boil. Miss Ottley watched me with an expression I shall not forget easily. Her face was as wan12 as that of a ghost; and her big red-brown eyes glowed like coals, and were ringed with purple hollows. She was manifestly worn out and on the verge43 of a breakdown44. But although I begged her to retire, she curtly45 refused. Judging by her eyes, she was my enemy, and a critical enemy at that. When everything was ready I walked over to her, picked her up in my arms and carried her struggling like a wildcat to the door. Then I put her out and blocked the entrance with the lid of the sarcophagus. She panted—"I hate you," from behind it. Then she began to cry. I said nothing. It seemed one of those occasions wherein silence was golden. I tied Sir Robert to the cot and set to work. Half an hour later I found the bullet under his clavicle,[Pg 19] and then dressed the wound and bound him up. He came out of the influence of the an?sthetic in his sober senses; but he was so eager to tell me all his disappointment that I gave him a hypodermic dose of morphia, and he dropped asleep in the middle of a rabid diatribe46 against Arabs in general and our Arabs in particular.
I found Miss Ottley reclining against a ruined pillar in an angle of the pylon. She had cried herself to sleep and was breathing like a child. I slipped out and found the Arab's store-house and kitchen. Luckily the gold had exhausted47 their cupidity48. The stores were untouched. I lighted a fire and prepared a meal—coffee and curry49 for Miss Ottley and myself; beef tea and arrowroot for the invalid50. By that time the sun was riding high in the heavens, but Miss Ottley still slept. Willing to assist her rest I secured a cushion from the chamber and pushed it gently beneath her head. She sighed and turned over, allowing me to see her face. I examined it and found it good. The features were well-nigh perfect, from the little Grecian nose to the round chin. But it was a face instinct with pride, the pride of a female Lucifer. And her form was in keeping. "God save her husband," was my conclusion. And I ate a hearty51 breakfast, watching her and pitying him, whoever he should be.
Sir Robert woke about noon, and although a little feverish52, I was quite satisfied with his progress. After eating a dish of what he feelingly described[Pg 20] as "muck" he went to sleep again. I prepared a second meal and brought it on a box to where Miss Ottley still lay sleeping. Then I sat down and coughed. Her eyes opened at once and she looked at me. It is marvellous what a woman's glance can do. I became instantly conscious of a dirty face, unkempt hair, and a nine-weeks' growth of beard. In order to conceal53 my appreciation54 of my ugliness I grinned.
"Ugh!" murmured Miss Ottley, and she got up.
"Sir Robert is asleep," I observed. "I found the bullet. He has had lunch and is going on nicely. You had better eat something."
She gave me a glance of scorn and glided55 into the temple. I helped her to a plate of curry, poured out a cup of coffee and made myself scarce. Returning a quarter of an hour later, I found the plate bare, the cup empty and not a crumb56 left on the box. I took the things away and washed them, and my own face. Then I shaved with a pocket amputation57 knife, using for mirror a pot of soapy water; and I brushed my too abundant locks into something like order with a bunch of stubble which I converted into a hair brush with a tomahawk and a piece of twine58. Feeling prodigiously59 civilised and almost respectable, I strolled back to the pylon, sat down on Miss Ottley's cushion, and lighted my pipe.
About two minutes later Miss Ottley appeared.
"Patient awake?" I asked.
[Pg 21]
"No," said Miss Ottley. "What an objectionable smell of tobacco!"
War to the knife evidently. I stood up. "When you need me shout," I remarked, and strolled off, puffing60 stolidly61. But I saw her face as I turned, and it was crimson62, perhaps with surprise that I could be as rude as she, perhaps with mortification63 that I had dared. If ever a girl needed a dressing64 down it was she who stood in the pylon staring after me. I squatted65 in the shadow of a rock and spent the afternoon stupefying over-friendly flies with the fumes66 of prime Turkish. She shouted just before sundown. Her father was delirious67, she said. I found him raving68 and tearing at his bandages. He was haunted with an hallucination of phantom69 cats. The whole cavern70, he declared, was filled with cats; black as Erebus with flaming yellow eyes. I shooed them away and after some trouble calmed the poor old man. But it was going to be a bad case, that was plain. Luckily the cave temple was, comparatively speaking, cool. I spent the evening disinfecting every cranny, and quietly dispersing71 the suspicious dust of vanished centuries. When I had finished it smelt72 carbolically wholesome73 and was as clean as a London hospital, even to the ceiling. Miss Ottley sat all the while by her father's cot, and occasionally sneezed to relieve her feelings. I had very little sympathy for her distress74. I said to her, "You will take first watch, I'll sleep in the pylon. Call me at midnight."[Pg 22] Then I placed my watch on the edge of the sarcophagus and went out. She said nothing. I woke at dawn. She was sitting like a statue beside her father's bedside. Her face was grey. Sir Robert was asleep, but breathing stertorously75. I beckoned76 her out to the pylon. "See here, Miss Ottley," I said, in a cold rage, "I'm not going to beat about the bush with you. I told you to call me at midnight. Kindly77 explain your disobedience."
"I am not your servant to obey your orders," she retorted icily.
"No," said I, "you prefer to serve your own prickly pride to behaving sensibly. But let me tell you this—your father's life depends on careful nursing. And that is impossible unless we apportion78 the work properly between us. You'll be fit for nothing today, and my task will be doubled in consequence. A little more of such folly79 and you'll break down altogether. You are strung up to more than concert pitch. As for me—I am not a machine, and though I am prepared to do my best out of mere80 humanity, I don't pretend to do the impossible. Nor shall I answer for your father's life if you force me to nurse two patients single-handed."
"You must," I said and strode into the open. When I had prepared breakfast, she did not want to eat. But I had only to frown and she succumbed82.[Pg 23] Afterwards I made her lie down, and she slept through Sir Robert's groaning83. It was a hideous84 day. The patient grew steadily85 worse, and so great was his strength, despite his diminutive86 size, that our struggles wore me out at last and I was obliged to strap87 him down. By nightfall he was a maniac88, and his yells could be heard, I make no doubt, a mile around. And the worst of it was that my stock of bromide was gone. I had to dose him with morphia. But I had not to speak to Miss Ottley again. She woke me out of a delicious sleep at a quarter to the hour. She was quite composed, but as pale as a sheet.
"My father is going to die, I think," she whispered.
I went in and looked at him. He was straining like a tiger at his bonds. "Not to-night, at any rate," I observed. "He has the strength of six. You go straight to bed!"
She went off as meek89 as any lamb, and I began to talk to Sir Robert. Our conversation was somewhat entertaining. He was Ixion chained to the wheel. I was Sisyphus with a day off duty. We commiserated90 one another on our penalties, and bitterly assailed91 King Pluto's unsympathetic government. Finally we conspired92 to dethrone him and give the crown of Hades to Proserpine, whose putatively93 tender heart might be reckoned on occasionally to mitigate94 the anguish95 of our punishment. He fell into a fitful doze96 at last with his[Pg 24] hand in mine, but he soon awoke, and with a yell announced the return of the imaginary plague of cats. On the whole, the night was worse than the day. And morning was no blessing97. Sir Robert had shed five and forty years. He was once again at college, and if his unwilling98 confessions99 are to be relied upon, and his language, he must have been a precious handful for his masters. But now he steadily lost strength, and the flame of fever ate him up before our eyes. As the shadows lengthened100 into afternoon I began to look for the crisis.
