"Go ahead as long as you like—only don't talk. I want to study." "And the room was in darkness--that is, comparative darkness--before then," mused Maurice. "I don't think anyone could have seen the devil-stick unless the lamp was lighted. Was it gone when you lighted up?" "Yes, but I was wrong; I made a mistake.".
