But I content myself with depriving you of motion, and leave you in possession of sight and speech, that you may endure the torture of witnessing what you cannot prevent." So saying, he was about to return to the corpse with Kelley, when Guy Fawkes exclaimed, in a hollow voice, "Set me free, and I will instantly depart." "Will you swear never to divulge what you have seen ?" demanded Dee, pausing.
"Solemnly," he replied.
"I will trust you, then," rejoined the Doctor;--"the rather that your presence interferes with my purpose." Taking a handful of loose earth from an adjoining grave, and muttering a few words, that sounded like a charm, he scattered it over Fawkes.

The spell was instantly broken.

A leaden weight seemed to be removed from his limbs.

His joints regained their suppleness, and with a convulsive start, like that by which a dreamer casts off a nightmare, he was liberated from his preternatural thraldom.
"And now, begone!" cried Doctor Dee, authoritatively.
"Suffer me to tarry with you a few moments," said Guy Fawkes, in a deferential tone.

"Heretofore, I will freely admit, I regarded you as an impostor; but now I am convinced you are deeply skilled in the occult sciences, and would fain consult you on the future." "I have already said that your presence troubles me," replied Doctor Dee.
