"It is a grave day indeed for the Spanish throne, who must now also mourn the loss of their beloved, or not so beloved prince. He died the same glorious death most Spanishmen do, run down while cowardly fleeing at the sight of one of Rome's mighty armies. Now that I think of it, are the Spanish the ones who taught the Egyptians that trick? As there seems to be a great Egyptian Migration eastward. Regrettably the Saracen demons left a trail of destruction in their wake as many once great cities and castles now lay in ruins, but on the bright side there were still plenty of valuables left for me to get rich off of."
Grabbing a bag from his assistant, Crowley empties it onto his table. Out fall all kinds of rare jewelry and other Egyptian treasures.
"Speaking of, I have here one of a kind Egyptian gold trinkets and mummified animals; all authentic, straight from the heathen's tombs, and very reasonably priced."
Pointing to a treasure held by an assistant on his left,
"Here I have a mummified cat. Once praised as gods by the ancient Egyptians, now an exotic paperweight for your lords study. And this..."
Crowley holds up a gold necklace with a large ruby center,
"...unique necklace once belonged to Cleopatra. That's right, if you act now, for the small price of nine ninety-nine, you could be the proud owner of a part of history; part of the greatest Egyptian queen and tragedy ever. Offer only good as long as supplies last."
Crowley tosses the necklace into a bag full of similar necklaces. Putting a couple of gold bottles on the table, Crowley continues,
"Ah, here we have frankincense and myrrh. Nothing beats them for making your dead loved one's smell better...or at least bearable. As an added bonus, for any wise men who buy both frankincense and myrrh, not only will you receive a discount, but they will come in these gold bottles. Unfortunately this is a limited time offer, so act now. For all of you who wishes to take advantage of these great deals, just talk to me or any one of my assistants. For those who do not feel they have the money for such luxuries, do not distress for I do offer alternative payment plans and loans."
