His left eyebrow crept higher and higher as I told him the strange bits like the glowing letters and serpent staff. Well, Sadie, Inspector Williams said. You've got quite an imagination. I'm not lying, Inspector. And I think your eyebrow is trying to escape. He tried to look at his own eyebrows, then scowled.

Menshikov wants to see the old gold swallowed by Apophis. He wants to see the world plunged into darkness and chaos. He is quite insane. Oh. [great response, I know. But what do you say to a story like that?]

You might not think a hippo could inspire terror. Screaming “Hippo!” doesn’t have the same impact as screaming “Shark!” But I’m telling you—as the Egyptian Queen careened to one side, its paddle wheel lifting completely out of the water, and I saw that monster emerge from the deep, I nearly discovered the hieroglyphs for accident in my pants.

Stacy Schiff is that rare combination: a first-rate historian and a brilliant storyteller.

Cleopatra is impossible to put down.
