    Summary

    Ardeth Bay owed Jonathan Carnahan his life, and they both knew it. Jonathan Carnahan owed Ardeth Bay more than life--and he knew that, too. But whether it was 1923 or any of his subsequent journeys to Egypt, there was more unspoken between them than either was willing to admit. Try as he might, he could not get the man to let himself have what (Jonathan thought) he wanted. So, in 1935, two years after the final defeat of Imhotep, Jonathan came back one more time, with the proposal of a great adventure to find a lost city. And this time, he meant to settle his debt, clear the air, and maybe--just maybe find peace.

    In the way life has of making us liars, he found that, far from paying it back, he and Ardeth Bay would spend their remaining lifetime keeping track of their accounts....and calling in their IOUs.

    Summary

    Rick snorts. “They’re not that bad.”

    Wordlessly, Evy looks back over at Jonathan and Ardeth.

    “If you think about it, I'm doing them a favour. Jewellery never looks quite right on dead people,” Jonathan is saying, flicking his wrist in comic disdain. A drop of whisky lurches forcefully from his glass and lands on Ardeth’s thigh, and Jonathan leans forward to pat it dry with his jacket sleeve. “Terribly sorry, old boy. I get a bit animated after a finger or two of the good stuff.”

    Ardeth’s eyes are very, very wide indeed.

    “Jesus, you’re right,” says Rick. 

    After 20 years of being subjected to more yearning than any sister should ever have to witness, Evy decides that enough's enough.
