"If I gave short shrift to your strange tales the first time I met you, doctor, I hope you'll forgive me," said Barrington. "This is the kind of thing one has to see to believe. Even given what you brought me...not quite what I had expected." Taking the lead behind the men that had rushed forward, he beckoned the doctor and Rosalie to join him.

In the distance, just beside the slain beast, which he steered clear of but kept an eye on in case it were to surprisingly return to life somehow, he sighted something which caught his breath before saying only, "Great Scott!"
Before them, shackled to a tall stone stele with Egyptian hieroglyphics carved into its body, were four human forms, three male, one female, and all completely nude and shivering as they hung against it. He took off the coat that he had to protect him against the winter coat and handed it to Rosalie.
"Miss, if you could kindly see that one of those women gets this..."
