The Green Mummy ReviewDespite the title, this is not an adventure yarn, as in H. Rider Haggard. It's a mixture of murder mystery and romance. The action of the story takes place entirely in a backwater town in England. Think Jane Austin with a murder here and there. And be warned: there are off-hand racist remarks that were fairly common in Hume's day.
Archie and Lucy are in love and want to get married. In order to bribe Lucy's step-father, Professor Braddock, to consent to the marriage, Archie finances the purchase of the Green Mummy. But before the mummy can be safely delivered to the professor, it is stolen, a murder is committed, and the rest of the book revolves around tracking down the thief and murderer. The ending is a rousing and satisfying wrap-up of all the loose ends.
Here's a bit of the book to give you the flavor of the writing. In it, Professor Braddock is being stalked by a lively widow, Mrs. Jasher, who wants to marry him.
The Professor stared at her with cold, fishy eyes. "Did you speak?"
"Oh, dear me, yes, and you don't even ask me to take a chair. If I were a nasty stuffy mummy, now, you would be embracing me by this time. Don't you know that I have come to dinner, you silly man?" and she tapped him playfully with her closed fan.
"I have had dinner," said Braddock, egotistical as usual.
"No, you have not." Mrs. Jasher spoke positively, and pointed to a small tray of untouched food on the side table. "You have not even had luncheon. You must live on air, like a chameleon -- or on love, perhaps," she ended in a significantly tender tone.
But she might as well have spoken to the granite image of Horus in the corner. Braddock merely rubbed his chin and stared harder than ever at the glittering visitor.
"Dear me!" he said innocently. "I must have forgotten to eat. Lamplight!" he looked round vaguely. "Of course, I remember lighting the lamps. Time has gone by very rapidly. I am really hungry." He paused to make sure, then repeated his remark in a more positive manner. "Yes, I am very hungry, Mrs. Jasher." He looked at her as though she had just entered. "Of course, Mrs. Jasher. Do you wish to see me about anything particular?"The Green Mummy Overview
