She certainly was in a dead faint, so Hope left her to the administrations of Lucy and the servant, and walked out again into the garden, closing the cottage door after him.
He found the heartless Professor quite oblivious to Mrs.Jasher's sufferings, so taken up was he with the newly found mummy.

Cockatoo had been sent for a hand-cart, and while he was absent Braddock expatiated on the perfections of this relic of Peruvian civilization.
"Will you sell it to Don Pedro ?" asked Hope.
"After I have done with it, not before," snapped Braddock, hovering round his treasure.

"I shall want a percentage on my bargain also." Archie thought privately that if Braddock unswathed the mummy, he would find the emeralds and would probably stick to them, so that his expedition to Egypt might be financed.

It that case Don Pedro would no longer wish to buy the corpse of his ancestor.

But while he debated as to the advisability of telling the Professor of the existence of the emeralds, Cockatoo returned with the hand-cart.
"You have lost Mrs.Jasher," said Hope, while he, assisted the Professor to hoist the mummy on to the cart.
"Never mind! never mind!" Braddock patted the coffin.
