- Before I could even knock, Sadie opened the door. Late as usual, she said. She was holding her cat, Muffin, who'd been a going away gift from Dad six years before.

- The gallery was in ruins. Waves of fire rippled in pools along the floor. Giant statues had toppled. Sacrophagi had been knocked off their pedestals. Pieces of the Rosetta Stone had exploded outward with such force that they'd embedded themselves in the columns, the walls, and other exhibits.
- My dad stared at the top of the obelisk .I had to see it again, he murmurred. Where it happened...What, Dad? I asked. What happened here?The last place I saw her. Sadie stopped pacing. She scowled at me uncertainly, then back at Dad. Hang on. Do you mean Mum?
