"I have been there for eleven years. My late husband is a cousin to the Sultan. When he died I was offered a job there as a chambermaid and have been promoted three times since then. I very much enjoy my job but am unfortunately as far along as I can go. He and his Uncle have even told me...

Callum says, "Regarding the carpet, it was only borrowed, the Queen had it back in her possession in less than a day. But I will say that I am most disappointed in all of you. I had previously thought that you were gentlemen, as well as masters of your individual professions. Now I discover...

She replies, "Oh yes, but very selectively and discretely." Gesturing toward the other men she says, "As for the others, Bibi did not make them eunuchs, they came from other places in that state. For those taking the elixir, it wears off over time."

Callum replies "I have no knowledge of where that item is either, I have been in France for a while now." Gerome says, "Oh, I absolutely know that. I also know how you got here. I was inside the palace in Cairo while the German Dragon-lady was fighting our Dreadnaught. I personally saw you...

She says, "My, you are bold. But I would guess that I should expect that from a man who plans to marry Ruby. In am mostly in agreement. I see merit in your plan with the rebel army, but am concerned as to the size of the area you propose for their authority. Very rigid guidelines will...

Ela says, "I've had worst days of employment. You seemed to enjoy your massage. Bibi makes sure that each masseuse is very skilled. And you need not worry about those men's thoughts, they are either eunuchs or have had their desires suppressed with an elixir. Bibi makes sure that he is the...

The two take their places on the tables and each then has warm oils rubbed into their bodies by verys skilled hands.

Callum says, "Yes, I was insensitive. I apologize. In the future I will make an attempt to get kidnapped at gunpoint only after I have heard the kidnapper's full family history." His sarcasm does not sit well and Gerome says, "Do you take this as a joke?" Callum says "No sir, there is...

She says, "I don't know, it probably does, but while I'm here I just want to be myself." She leads Ruby through a door into a room that is warm, humid and has the sent of incense buring. There are multiple small pools of hot water, several of which have women lying or sitting relaxed...

Fouccault raises his voice slightly and says, "Everybody, calm down. Marcel, get control of your emotions. I am certain that Mr. Stuart meant no offense. If you cannot handle yourself with that weapon I will give it to your cousin Andre." Marcel says, "I'm fine, I just didn't like what he...

She says, "I agree, but my employers feel that I can be more persuasive if I appear younger. It creates an illusion of how one looked fifteen years earlier. It had belonged to your friend the Sultan, but he has now reached an age where it is almost indistinguishable on him, so he has...

Callum says to Fouccault "It looks as though you have come out ahead, based upon this fine carriage you are riding in. Daguerre was quite wealthy and is known to have had no spouse or legitimate children, so as his apprentice you appear to have inherited his estate." As Cal says this she...

Fouccault says, "Powerful indeed. She destroyed our home here in Paris. And rather than imprisoning her for attacking our city the ineffectual French Ruling Council has rewarded her and punished us. We are now barred from the building, what little of it remains, and they have accepted a...

Fouccault says, "Merimee wanted to kill the Egyptians? That cannot be true, he was only concerned with finding the gateway to Atlantis." Callum says, "It was not his plan, it was YOUR mentors. You were not part of the conspiracy, if you had been you would now be dead, as the Goddess Bast...

Ela has begun disrobing even before Bibi leaves the room. The last item she removes from her unclothed body is the fancy ring worn on her hand, at which point Ruby sees the woman age from a teenager to a woman who appears to be in her late twenties. She is still quite beautiful, but lacks...

"Poisoning? What are you talking about?" Fouccault asks.

Gerome angrily interjects "And how did you contribute? We know that you were involved. You did far more damage in Egypt than only deciding to maim me."

She leads Ruby back in the direction of the hotel with them entering a building three doors away with a sign in Arabic. She says "This is the one for women. The one for men is next door." Once inside she is greeted by a bald young man who does not appear to have any facial hair, even...

Foucccault turns his gaze towards Abby and says, "And you, I was told that you were present when the new Egyptian Queen decided to execute my mentor. What have you to say?"

"Would you prefer to go to the clothing shop or the steam baths?"
