“Swords, Lances, arrows, machine guns, and even high explosives have had far less power over the fates of nations than the typhus louse, the plague flea, and the yellow-fever mosquito. Civilizations have retreated from the plasmodium of malaria, and armies have crumbled into rabbles under the onslaught of cholera spirilla, or of dysentery and typhoid bacilli. Huge areas have bee devastated by the trypanosome that travels on the wings of the tsetse fly, and generations have been harassed by the syphilis of a courtier. War and conquest and that herd existence which is an accompaniment of what we call civilization have merely set the stage for these more powerful agents of human tragedy.”

“I pull on his fingers softly, tired of this talk. “I have something to tell you…” He tightens his grip on my fingers in excitement as I whisper that I’m carrying his child. Tutankhamun gives a cry of proud joy. He lifts me in his arms and spins me until I shriek and demand that he stops. “Think of the baby!” I admonish, laughing. “The baby,” he repeats, trying the words out on his lips. “Our baby.” “If the gods will it,” I say soberly, resting my face against his. “They will,” he breathes, “I swear it.”
