MUMMIES

"He threw his hands up into the air, burst into a harsh clatter of words, and then,
hurling himself down upon the ground beside the mummy, he threw his arms round her,
and kissed her repeatedly upon the lips and brow."
[Arthur Conan Doyle, "The Ring of Thoth"]

"They broke in upon me and found me doing an unholy thing."
[Boris Karloff in The Mummy (1932)]
