<br/>Rowena turned slightly at Emily's question a little surprised but happy to be addressed with the question, the more talk about the subject that Rowena created the more people would question it.  Rowena did not quite understand why the double standard was there, many mummy unwrapping parties where attended and witnessed by men and women it was nothing new. Why Rowena could even think of a certain mistress of a royal who had been gifted a mummy by the King himself, it was irony to Rowena that these people would break from the view of the mummy being simply an object of wonder and entertainment and think it wrong for one party to partake in the event.  Could it be that they perhaps begun to realize that it was more than a trinket and party piece to be defiled and ransacked like a stocking full with treats on Christmas day.<br/><em><br/> "Well Emily, I would say that I personally would rather be aware of the horror than ignorant of it.  If it can be confronted and understood it need be feared no more, as for its condition I have seen far worse things the Egyptians art of preservation is a miraculous thing I think the sense of horror is misplaced. As for nightmares well they are no more real than dreams,  once you understand them they hold no sway over you and may even turn to your advantage. I don't fear the dead my dear I feel I quite understand them well enough and I have no reason to worry, no it is the unknown which troubles me knowing I perhaps may of been able to do something or at least glean some understanding."</em><br/><br/>Rowena smiled slightly she was glad of the question although she wondered quite what those around her would make if she expressed her true feelings, Rowena was no more afraid to stare at a corpse of any kind than she would be of a rotting apple, it was a shell nothing more Rowena knew that and she had seen things far worse. Rowena smiled and glanced to Nathaniel at his words of encouragement but the smoldering look he gave her was discouraging, there was adventure and lust in Rowena but not of that kind Rowena was more chaste than even her aunt would like. She looked away from Nathaniel fearful of encouraging anything Rowena held strange views on that matter, stranger than most but familiar to the time it was an awkward situation.<br/><br/>Rowena took a gentle sip of her water gathering herself again thankful that Major Tyler had spoken to her again,  she returned her glance to him to answer<em>"I believe that would be suitable Major Tyler, there is always the theater of course." </em>Rowena was not entirely sure to what Major Tyler had been referring too with the maid and so she ignored it and decided not to comment.<em>"It would be of interest to me at least Major Tyler, I believe it is a excellent suggestion after all that is why we where invited here is it not ?"   </em><br/><br/>
