Come out into the garden and get some warmth and colour for tonight, my love.

But when night came, no one could reproach the girl with her pallor, for she glowed like a pomegranate flower, her eyes were full of fire, her lips scarlet, and all her old vivacity seemed to have returned.
podcast-host
A more brilliant bride never blushed under a misty veil, and when a lover saw her, he was absolutely startled by the almost unearthly beauty which she
podcast-host
And if love, many blessings and all good gifts lavishly showered upon them could make them happy, then this young pair were truly blessed.

But even in the rapture of the moment that made her his, for Scythe observed how icy cold was the little hand he held, how feverish the deep colour on the soft cheeks he kissed, and what a strange fire burned in the tender eyes that looked so wistfully at him.
podcast-host
Blithe and beautiful as a spirit, the smiling bride played her part in all the festivities of that long evening, and when at last light, life, and colour began to fade, the loving eyes that watched her thought it but the natural weariness of the hour.

As the last guest departed, Forsythe was met by a servant, who gave him a letter marked Haste
podcast-host
Tearing it open he read these lines from a friend of the professor's,
podcast-host
Dear sir, poor Niles died suddenly two days ago while at the scientific club, and his last words were Tell Paul Forsythe to beware of the mummy's curse, for this fatal flower has killed me.
podcast-host
The circumstances of his death were so peculiar that I add them as a sequel to this message.
podcast-host

podcast-host

podcast-host
The professor wore it in his buttonhole.
podcast-host
A strange white serpent headed blossom with pale glittering spots which slowly changed to a glittering scarlet till the lower

leaves looked as if sprinkled with blood.
podcast-host
It was observed that instead of the pallor and feebleness which had recently come over him, that the Professor was unusually animated, and seemed in an almost unnatural state of high spirits.
podcast-host
Near the close of the meeting, in the midst of a lively discussion, he suddenly dropped, as if smitten with apoplexy.
podcast-host
He was conveyed home insensible, and after one lucid interval in which he gave me the message I have recorded above, he died in great agony, raving of mummies, pyramids, serpents, and some fatal curse which had fallen upon him.
podcast-host
After his death, livid scarlet spots, like those on the flower, appeared upon his skin, and he shrivelled like a withered leaf.
podcast-host
At my desire the mysterious plant was examined and pronounced by the best authority one of the most deadly poisons known to the Egyptian sorceresses.
