Then she came hobbling back, stopping now and again to address a remark (the tenor of which I could not catch) to one or other of the shrouded forms, just as you or I might greet an old acquaintance. Having gone through this mysterious and horrible ceremony, she squatted herself down on the table immediately under the white Death, and began, so far as I could make out, to offer up prayers to it. The spectacle of this wicked old creature pouring out supplications (evil ones, no doubt) to the arch-enemy of mankind was so uncanny that it caused us to hasten our inspection.

"Now, Gagool," said I, in a low voice β somehow one did not dare to speak above a whisper in that place β "lead us to the chamber."
The old creature promptly scrambled down off the table.

"Lead on."

Gagool grinned (ΠΠ°Π³ΡΠ»Π° ΡΡ ΠΌΡΠ»ΡΠ½ΡΠ»Π°ΡΡ). "The way is there, my lords (Π²Ρ ΠΎΠ΄ ΡΠ°ΠΌ, ΠΌΠΎΠΈ ΠΏΠΎΠ²Π΅Π»ΠΈΡΠ΅Π»ΠΈ)."

jest [dZest], cavity ['kxvItI], good-sized ["gud'saIzd], balance ['bxlqns], principle ['prInsqpl]
Gagool grinned. "The way is there, my lords."
"Do not jest with us," I said, sternly.
"I jest not, my lords. See!" and she pointed at the rock.
As she did so, on holding up the lamp we perceived that a mass of stone was slowly rising from the floor and vanishing into the rock above, where doubtless there was a cavity prepared to receive it. The mass was of the width of a good-sized door, about ten feet' high and not less than five feet thick. It must have weighed at least twenty or thirty tons, and was clearly moved upon some simple balance principle, probably the same as that upon which the opening and shutting of an ordinary modern window is arranged.
How the principle was set in motion, of course none of us saw (ΠΊΠ°ΠΊ ΡΡΠΎΡ ΠΌΠ΅Ρ Π°Π½ΠΈΠ·ΠΌ Π±ΡΠ» ΠΏΡΠΈΠ²Π΅Π΄Π΅Π½ Π² Π΄Π΅ΠΉΡΡΠ²ΠΈΠ΅, ΠΊΠΎΠ½Π΅ΡΠ½ΠΎ ΠΆΠ΅, Π½ΠΈΠΊΡΠΎ ΠΈΠ· Π½Π°Ρ Π½Π΅ Π²ΠΈΠ΄Π΅Π»); Gagool was careful to avoid that (ΠΠ°Π³ΡΠ»Π° Π±ΡΠ»Π° ΠΎΡΠ΅Π½Ρ ΠΎΡΡΠΎΡΠΎΠΆΠ½ΠΎΠΉ, ΡΡΠΎΠ±Ρ ΠΈΠ·Π±Π΅ΠΆΠ°ΡΡ ΡΡΠΎΠ³ΠΎ = ΡΡΠΎΠ±Ρ Π½Π΅ Π΄Π°ΡΡ Π½Π°ΠΌ ΡΡΠΎΠ³ΠΎ ΡΠ²ΠΈΠ΄Π΅ΡΡ; to avoid β ΠΈΠ·Π±Π΅Π³Π°ΡΡ, ΠΎΡΡΠ΅ΡΠ΅Π³Π°ΡΡΡΡ); but I have little doubt that there was some very simple lever (Π½ΠΎ Ρ ΠΏΠΎΡΡΠΈ Π½Π΅ ΡΠΎΠΌΠ½Π΅Π²Π°ΡΡΡ, ΡΡΠΎ Π³Π΄Π΅-ΡΠΎ Π±ΡΠ» ΠΎΡΠ΅Π½Ρ ΠΏΡΠΎΡΡΠΎΠΉ ΡΡΡΠ°Π³), which was moved ever so little by pressure on a secret spot (ΠΊΠΎΡΠΎΡΡΠΉ ΠΏΡΠΈΠ²ΠΎΠ΄ΠΈΠ»ΡΡ Π² Π΄Π²ΠΈΠΆΠ΅Π½ΠΈΠ΅ Π»Π΅Π³ΠΊΠΈΠΌ Π½Π°ΠΆΠ°ΡΠΈΠ΅ΠΌ Π½Π° ΡΠ΅ΠΊΡΠ΅ΡΠ½ΡΡ ΡΠΎΡΠΊΡ), thereby throwing additional weight on to the hidden counterbalances (ΡΠ΅ΠΌ ΡΠ°ΠΌΡΠΌ Π½Π° ΡΠΊΡΡΡΡΠ΅ ΠΏΡΠΎΡΠΈΠ²ΠΎΠ²Π΅ΡΡ ΡΠ±ΡΠ°ΡΡΠ²Π°Π»ΡΡ Π΄ΠΎΠΏΠΎΠ»Π½ΠΈΡΠ΅Π»ΡΠ½ΡΠΉ Π²Π΅Ρ), and causing the whole huge mass to be lifted from the ground (ΠΈ Π·Π°ΡΡΠ°Π²Π»ΡΠ» Π²ΡΡ ΡΡΡ ΠΎΠ³ΡΠΎΠΌΠ½ΡΡ Π³Π»ΡΠ±Ρ ΠΏΠΎΠ΄Π½ΠΈΠΌΠ°ΡΡΡΡ ΠΎΡ Π·Π΅ΠΌΠ»ΠΈ).

lever ['li:vq], pressure ['preSq], counterbalance ['kauntq"bxlqns]
How the principle was set in motion, of course none of us saw; Gagool was careful to avoid that; but I have little doubt that there was some very simple lever, which was moved ever so. little by pressure on a secret spot, thereby throwing additional weight on to the hidden counterbalances, and causing the whole huge mass to be lifted from the ground. Very slowly and gently the great stone raised itself, till at last it had vanished altogether, and a dark hole presented itself to us in the place which it had filled.
Our excitement was so intense (Π½Π°ΡΠ΅ Π²ΠΎΠ»Π½Π΅Π½ΠΈΠ΅ Π±ΡΠ»ΠΎ Π½Π°ΡΡΠΎΠ»ΡΠΊΠΎ ΡΠΈΠ»ΡΠ½ΡΠΌ), as we saw the way to Solomon's treasure chamber at last thrown open (ΠΊΠΎΠ³Π΄Π° ΠΌΡ ΡΠ²ΠΈΠ΄Π΅Π»ΠΈ, ΡΡΠΎ Π²Ρ ΠΎΠ΄ Π² ΡΠΎΠΊΡΠΎΠ²ΠΈΡΠ½ΠΈΡΡ ΡΠ°ΡΡ Π‘ΠΎΠ»ΠΎΠΌΠΎΠ½Π° Π½Π°ΠΊΠΎΠ½Π΅Ρ-ΡΠΎ ΡΠ°ΡΠΏΠ°Ρ Π½ΡΠ»ΡΡ; to throw β Π±ΡΠΎΡΠ°ΡΡ, ΠΊΠΈΠ΄Π°ΡΡ; Π±ΡΡΡΡΠΎ, Π½Π΅ΠΎΠΆΠΈΠ΄Π°Π½Π½ΠΎ ΠΏΡΠΈΠ²ΠΎΠ΄ΠΈΡΡ Π² ΠΎΠΏΡΠ΅Π΄Π΅Π»Π΅Π½Π½ΠΎΠ΅ ΡΠΎΡΡΠΎΡΠ½ΠΈΠ΅; to throw smth. open β ΡΠ°ΡΠΏΠ°Ρ ΠΈΠ²Π°ΡΡ), that I for one began to tremble and shake (ΡΡΠΎ Ρ, Π½Π°ΠΏΡΠΈΠΌΠ΅Ρ, Π½Π°ΡΠ°Π» Π΄ΡΠΎΠΆΠ°ΡΡ ΠΈ ΡΡΡΡΡΠΈΡΡ; for one β Π½Π°ΠΏΡΠΈΠΌΠ΅Ρ, ΡΡΠΎ ΠΊΠ°ΡΠ°Π΅ΡΡΡ).
