time...

Seem to be happening again....

I was delighted to recive an invitation for dinner from the MacRoths. It was the same old 'Blue Lotus', a delicious meal of lamb kabob and now coffee and a desert. My old friends are looking well. "Marriage suits you both, but what brings you back to Cairo now? Of all the people I expected to still see here, it was not the two of you? How happy I am to find you. I was just here now to pick up my things, for soon I am off on another expedition."

I know that they are wondering about my companion Miss Baket. We had been separated in the middle of the Amazon Rain Forrest. When I got back to Cairo I'd been told that I'd been declaired dead. They informed me at the hotel desk that Miss Baket was here only a few months ago. It was a great relief to me to know that she had not come to any harm.

"I can not tell you much about what happened. You know that I am still employed by the government. I have kept an account of it all and someday it will be published. The truth will be revealed.

Just then, who should come to our table but Narmer. "Narmer, is it true that you are now the manager of this hotel?"
