Unfortunately for Amelia, it turns out Emerson doesn't remember her either-and is just as annoyed by her as when they first met. Unfortunately for the kidnapper, Emerson is the victim of amnesia and doesn't know anything about the Lost Oasis. When Adbullah finally finds Emerson, imprisoned in a backyard shed, Amelia finds out that his captor wants information about their previous year's travels and the possibility of a lost Meroitic civilization (complete with artifacts and treasures to exploit). Amelia, Abdullah, and their circle of friends scour Luxor for any sign of Emerson, with the help of Cyrus Vandergelt, who appears on the scene just when Amelia needs him most. Despite Amelia's hopes that this will be a second honeymoon for them, Emerson is kidnapped-but no ransom demand or explanation is forthcoming. So Amelia and the Professor sail east, to begin a new season with a new project - the complete clearing of an entire archaeological site. Ramses also decides to stay in England, as his crush on Nefret becomes more obvious to his mother (but no one else). Nefret decides she will stay in England to study while the Emersons return to Egypt as usual in the fall, and Walter and Evelyn Emerson glady take her in. She has difficulty with the immaturity and meanness of girls her age, but is determined to learn the ways of her newly adopted culture. After returning from their adventure at the Lost Oasis, the Emersons try to get Nefret, their new ward, integrated into English country life.
