PART I
Smith looked at it once, twice, thrice, and at the third look he fell in love.
With a howl of terror the brave company turned and fled.
The funeral sledge drawn of Oxen, and on it the great rectangular case that contained...
...the outer and the inner coffins, and within them the mummy of some departed majesty.
His heart swelled within him, for here was the hand of that royal lady of his dreams.
Now he was among all that throng of ghosts, which parted to let him...
...pass, looking at him as he went with cold and wondering eyes.
