The Mummy's Ghost Page #2

and Kharis

are safe once more

in the hills of Arkam.

Once each night

during the cycle

of the full moon,

you will brew

nine tana leaves.

Kharis will know

and come for the fluid

which preserves him.

He will find it

wherever it is.

I have it. I have it.

By heaven,

I believe I have it!

Good. And you'll come to bed,

won't you, dear?

No, no, no.

But it's late,

and you just said

you finished.

No, no. I found

the means to finish.

The key to

the locked door, I hope.

This was the lock.

This one elusive hieroglyphic.

And here I've found the key.

What on Earth does it say?

It says "nine."

Is that all?

That may be everything.

All right.

Then you come to bed.

It will still be nine

tomorrow night, won't it?

Yes, but tomorrow night

the moon will not be full.

That's part of

the story these tell also.

Nine tana leaves

must be brewed

during the cycle

of the full moon.

Whatever has

the full moon to do with it?

Oh, it's... It's ridiculous.

Yes, it sounds

that way, doesn't it?

But how are we

to be certain?

The moon affects the tides.

It may have the power

to affect these

tana leaves as well.

I don't know.

It's all too much for me.

That's my salvation, Ella.

The fact that

you're not a scientist,

and that it is

too much for you.

Now run along to bed

and don't worry about me.

All right.

Norman's dead.

Murdered.

What?

Yeah, it happened

sometime last night.

I can't believe it.

It's all over the campus.

The sheriff's at

Norman's house right now.

Tom, Amina's mixed up

in it too.

Amina?

Yeah. A watchman

picked her up unconscious

right outside Norman's house

early this morning.

It's only logical

that they'd suspect...

What's logical about it?

What does it

look like, Coroner?

Strangulation.

There are traces

of a foreign substance

on the throat.

That's mold.

The mummy.

I begged Matthew to

come to bed last night.

I begged him,

but he wouldn't listen to me.

He kept talking about keys

and leaves and moonlight,

and now he's dead.

He's dead.

Well,

how do you feel now?

I'm all right.

Good.

Now you can tell us

what you were doing

outside this house

last night.

No, I can't. I don't know.

Do you usually go walking

on the campus in

your nightgown?

I tell you, I don't know

how I got there

last night or why.

Well,

something happened here

to make you faint.

What was it?

I don't know!

I don't know! I don't know!

Now look, Miss Mansouri,

I don't want to get tough,

but a man was

murdered here last night.

I'm not saying you had

anything to do with it,

but you are in

a pretty hot spot.

And a lapse of

memory won't help you

out of it, so you'd better...

Where do you think
