“Well my dear,” Robert bit the end of the cigar and then took out a matchbook to light it, afterwards he took a slow draw on it and then exhaled but not in the direction of the lady. “It was all rather exciting, apparently, a good friend of mine was there with the Lady Howard, You know Lady Charlotte of course…” he was about to continue with a little more gossip but remembered the what he had been speaking of.<br/><br/>“You see the Winterstone brothers as you know were rather well known archaeologists, they brought back rather a find. I hear Robert even brought back a wife, a darkie by all accounts, shocking really …anyway let me continue.” Robert took another drink of his wine. “Lord William was murdered, with one of the ceremonial daggers. Also his wife’s nurse was murdered as well…The Mummy was stolen but none of the jewellery. Some folks have been suggesting that it was the Darkie man that was invited. By all accounts he has disappeared and the police are looking for him…”<br/><br/>After another draw upon the cigar “I do believe it sounds like one of those penny dreadfuls…though there might be a plot for my next play…what say you my dear?”<br/>
