The man's name was Bellingham." "The Egyptologist? Yes, I remember the case quite well. What about it?" "The brother is a patient of mine.

The two began to walk towards the village along the causeway, and Hope cleared his throat to explain patiently as to a child. "You know that your step-father Professor Braddock is crazy on the subject of mummies?" Lucy nodded in her pretty wilful way. "He is an Egyptologist."
