  The children, walking towards the wharf, saw a few more flamingoes, which pleased their eyes. After this Dinah announced that Nell must return home. In Egypt, after days which even in winter are often scorching, very cold nights follow, and as Nells health demanded great care, her father, Mr. Rawlinson, would not allow her to be near the water after sunset. They, therefore, returned to the city, on the outskirts of which, near the Canal, stood Mr. Rawlinsons villa, and by the time the sun plunged into the sea they were in the house.

  Egypt's mummy revives in the year 2126 and finds England a monarchy run by women, with steam carriages, air balloons and coffee delivered by pipe. Jane Loudon published it at twenty, orphaned and penniless, and it may be the first mummy story ever written; the horticulturist she married had read it and sought her out. Fifty-eight plates by painters including David Roberts and Lawrence Alma-Tadema supply Egyptian temples, Cairo streets and classical scenes that suit a tale of a revived mummy in a future century.

  For her this rhyme is penned, whose luminous eyes,
  Brightly expressive as the twins of Leda,
  Shall find her own sweet name, that, nestling lies
  Upon the page, enwrapped from every reader.
  Search narrowly the lines!—they hold a treasure
  Divine—a talisman—an amulet
  That must be worn at heart. Search well the measure—
  The words—the syllables! Do not forget
  The trivialest point, or you may lose your labor!
  And yet there is in this no Gordian knot
