The British Museum gets one more corpse than they bargained for as doors open for their new Egyptian exhibit.
Excitement is palpable among London Society as the opening of the exhibit draws near. An invitation-only affair, it will be attended by the likes of the Queen, foreign dignitaries, and high-placed people in society, which most certainly includes Mikaela Forsythe and her great aunt, Lady Montgomery.
The artifacts are magnificent—gold sarcophagi, statues, canopic jars, and a mummified cat line the hall, along with a legendary Book of the Dead found at Saqqara in Egypt. The day finally arrives and the attendees eagerly await an appearance by the explorer Sir Nelson Lawrence.
