Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. When the novel opens, the Emersons were on the terrace of Shepherd's hotel waiting for Ramses and David. How long had Ramses and David been away?

Answer: 6 months

Since Ramses was sixteen and David was eighteen, Amelia allowed them to spend six months with Sheikh Mohammed, an Arab who would teach them how to "be men".
2. Emerson gets a note warning him away from which tomb?

Answer: Twenty-A

Amelia finds out that there is no such tomb recorded, and assumes that it must be in between tomb twenty and twenty-one. In this supposed tomb the Emersons find the preserved body of Lucinda Bellingham.
3. Nefret informs Ramses that the cat Anubis has died.

Answer: False

Ramses' long-time cat Bastet, who was his pet since he was a little boy, had died a month before Ramses returned. Their cat Anubis, however, is still living.
4. Which area of the United States are Colonel Bellingham and Dolly from?

Answer: South

Colonel Bellingham and Dolly lived on a large plantation in the south. Colonel Bellingham served in the American Civil War as a Confederate officer, and Dolly talks with a southern accent.
5. Who thinks that he has been chosen to find the tomb of an ancient princess?

Answer: Donald Fraser

Mrs. Whitney-Jones has convinced Donald Fraser that he has been chosen to save an ancient Egyptian princess, Tasherit. In order to set Donald straight, the Emersons, the Frasers, and Mrs. Whitney-Jones hold a seance, convincing Donald that the princess does not want to be found.
6. Who plays the part of Princess Tasherit during the seance?

Answer: Enid Fraser

At first Nefret decided she wanted to play the part, then Cyrus Vandergelt suggested that a 'pretty little Egyptian girl' do it. Ramses, a master in the art of disguise, decides that he wants to do it. Finally Amelia decides that the perfect candidate is Donald's wife, Enid.
7. Who killed Lucinda Bellingham?

Answer: Colonel Bellingham

Lucinda ran away with Dutton Scudder, and to avenge his own honor, Colonel Bellingham killed Lucinda and tried to kill Dutton. Dutton, who loved Lucinda, prepared her body and placed it in the tomb, as a proper burial. He sent the Emersons the note warning them from tomb Twenty-A, knowing that they will want to look for it.
8. Did Ramses mean to kill Bellingham?

Answer: No

Bellingham shot the unstable ceiling of the tomb, causing it to collapse. Amelia, Ramses, and Bellingham were trapped inside. Bellingham had threatened to kill Amelia and would have done it, but Ramses killed him. He felt incredibly guilty about it, and when Nefret asked him if he meant to kill Bellingham, Ramses tells her he didn't.
9. What happened to Katherine Jones?

Answer: She married Cyrus

Katherine Jones was a widow with two children. Since she had no way of getting money, she resorted to becoming a charlatan. With Amelia's urging, Katherine accepted Cyrus Vandergelt's proposal of marriage.
10. David was still ignorant about Ramses' feelings for Nefret by the end of this book.

Answer: False

At the end of the book Ramses finally admits to David that he loves Nefret. David, however, though slowly becoming accustomed to European ways, did not fully understand what Ramses was talking about.
