What Bertie and Emma Saw When Mathilda and Percy Returned Home

So, it had finally come to this.

She took off her abaya and, wearing only her shift, threw herself into the salty water, the impact making her feel better almost instantly.

She must have fallen asleep, because when she opened her eyes again, the sun had set but her travel case was still unpacked.

The man looked away as if calculating a risk, then nodded curtly and pressed one finger to the peacock’s chest.

Mathilda was glad that their stay in Siwa would end more successfully than it had otherwise been.

They took rooms in a small guesthouse on the main street made of salt and mudbrick, like all the other buildings in the village, before exploring the remains of the Temple of Amun.

Later that afternoon, Mathilda mentioned her disappointment about Stephen’s upcoming trip to her cousin Emma over a quick cup of tea.
