For 12 B. several days we were delayed before we actually set off for the mines, firstly because the king was  13 D. busy  taking control of his new kingdom, and secondly because Sir Henry was recovering from the wounds that the former king had given him. We walked 14 C. for three days before we reached the caves which formed the entrance to King Solomon's mines. As we walked across the plains Gagool was silent, she did not even 14 D smile when we stopped to eat; put when we started to 15 D. climb up into the mountains she seemed to come alive. She was the only one who knew the exact location of the mines, and she got more and more 16 B excited the closer we got to our destination. In the evening of the third day we arrived and set up camp to wait for the next day. In the light of the 17 A. day we could see that the mouth of the cave was a short way up a steep cliff. Until we reached the 18 D. top of the cliff we could see that there was an easy route up to the cave, and that it had been worn smooth by 19 C. winds over hundreds of years. As we walked into the cave it became darker and darker. Sir Henry held a 20 B. burning torch above his head, and by its light we could make out white shapes in the distance. As we came closer we could see that they seemed to be shaped like men.
