THE LIVING MUMMY
THE LIVING MUMMY
I was hard at work in my tent. I had almost completed translating the inscription of a small stele of Amen-hotep III, dated B. C., 1382, which with my own efforts I had discovered, and I was feeling wonderfully self-satisfied in consequence, when of a sudden I heard a great commotion without. Almost immediately the tent flap was lifted, and Migdal Abu's black face appeared. He looked vastly excited for an Arab, and he rolled his eyes horribly. What do you want? I demanded irritably. Did I not tell you I was not to be disturbed?
He bent almost double. Excellency—a white sheik has come riding on an ass, and with him a shameless female, also white.
The dickens! I exclaimed, for I had not seen a European for nine weeks.
