The Curse of the Mummy's Tomb Page #3

Thank heaven,

nothing appears to have been broken.

They were obviously searching

for something, but what?

If we could answer that question,

we'd know who they were.

They have not taken gold or jewels

that most men would covet.

- What's happened, sir giles?

- The place has been ransacked.

- Anything stolen?

- No, nothing as far as we can see.

- Inspector, sir.

- Yes?

I have found something over there.

I suggest, miss, that you stay here.

John! Come here!

- What is it, darling?

- Your lists have gone.

Blast! And there were no copies!

Three months' work wasted.

But why?

What possible use

could they be to anyone else?

If one wanted to know the

complete contents of the tomb,

your lists are the quickest way.

Then that means we are not the only

people interested in the treasures of ra.

I remember a night just like this

when we were on our way to Egypt.

Yes, I remember it too, darling.

Do you realise that was

almost a year ago?

- That was a happy voyage.

- Yes, it was.

- But this one...

- What do you mean?

I don't quite know, John.

But somehow, whenever

I'm in proximity to the mummy...

Oh, you needn't worry about it.

It's safely locked up in the hold,

clearly labelled:

"Not wanted on voyage."

You know, the only real

physical danger you may be in

is not from the mummy.

But... from... me!

- Don't, John. Please.

-L'm sorry.

I'm not just being silly.

There is something. I feel it.

But I just can't explain it.

I'm afraid it wasn't a very good joke,

was it? Will you forgive me?

- Good night, sir giles.

- Good evening, my dear.

You look very beautiful.

Good night.

- Good night, John.

- Good night, sir giles.

You know, if he carries on like this,

he'll soon be as pickled as the mummy.

That's not funny either.

This whole business with king

has had a deep effect on him.

And what's more, the Egyptian

authorities have as good as told him

he's conducted his last expedition

anywhere on their territory.

Yes, I know. It's quite ridiculous.

It's king who is to blame, but they

probably won't believe it.

What will sir giles do?

He may have to retire.

He's no longer a youngster.

Oh, that would be a great waste.

He knows more about ancient

Egypt than any other person.

That's sir giles.

You stay there!

Man overboard!

- Man overboard!

- Man overboard!

- John. What happened?

-L'm afraid a man attacked sir giles.

- Is he badly hurt?

- No, fortunately not.

Just a lump on his head and a headache.

I'm afraid I've got one too.

Was he robbed?

I don't think it was

money the man was after.

Oh, please let me introduce:

Adam beauchamp, John bray.

- How do you do?

- How do you do?

If it wasn't money he was after,
