EL MONTAZEH PALACE is the Rameses estate in Alexandria. It is now a museum. It is no longer a residence, but it is an important part of the history of the Rameses. It is very near to where the Pharos Lighthouse once was. It is a home that is not a home but still remains a house for many.

Today I will be leaving my beloved land of Egypt, but my wonderful husband will be at my side. We have vowed never to be apart again.
He is taking me out of the country and will not even tell me where. As long as we are together, what does it matter? Today for me, a new life will begin.

At last Amelia's wonder of a plane has touched down in Cairo. Kent Allard has miraculously saved the day. Krammer is bound and gaged and about to be put in a Cairo jail forever, I hope. We make our way back to the Cairo Hotel by cab. Booth Djari and Allard seem to have suffered most from the ordeal.
When we finally arrive I find my beloved husband, my mother, my sister, my brother, and a host of Cairo friends waiting there to greet us.
It is such a relief to be back in the arms of my husband. It is a wonder of wonders!
THE VALE OF KASHMIR
We have landed in the Vale of Kasmir long noted for it's beauty as a land of paradise. Out of the wreckage of a burning plane emerges the dreadful Krammer. This is someone that I thought we had seen the last of. Why him now I think to myself? He has tied both Djari
and myself up and is holding a gun
on Amelia. Where is Miss Baket?
Somehow she has managed to elude him. She is now our only hope against this maniac. I am afraid he would very much like to eliminate Dijari. He has bound and gagged both of us. We have flown from the frying pan right into the fire!
A Sinapore SLING FLING_
Into the Chinese cookies I place small notes. Help I am being held prisoner at Raffles. LR
Dearest Shane,
I just found this composition book in a drawer. I have no idea if you are alive or dead? I remember hearing a shot and seeing you slump down. Then befor I could get to you there was a blackout.
I do not know how many terrible days I spent a prisoner in the hold of a ship, bound I know not where, then I was transfered to another ship and brought to a tropical island. It is like a luxurious paradise here. O...my darling, I miss you so. If I can I will try to get this sent to you. I am alright, but I know they are asking a ransome for me. I pray that you are alright my love, and somehow someway, this message will reach you. I may try putting a message in a bottle and sending it to sea.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Always
Your Reylari,

I had just left a post card at the desk. The next day we planned to return to Cairo. We were taking a tour of Philae and the temples there.
