The eighteenth session of 'The Mummy's Curse' reading comprehension provides answers to various questions about the story's events and characters. It reveals that several individuals, including Lord Carnarvon and Sir Lee Stack, died due to the so-called Mummy's curse. The session explains that fear of the curse led to donations of Egyptian artefacts to the British Museum in 1923. Arthur Conan Doyle is said to tell a 'version' of the truth to The Butterfly Club to hide their failure in a mission related to Tutankhamun. The term 'befuddled' is clarified as a state of confusion. Luna's emotions upon returning to 1894 are described as boredom and unease, particularly due to her aunt's silence regarding her father and the dubious intentions of The Butterfly Club. The session also uncovers that Arthur Conan Doyle wrote two Egyptian stories to mimic the historical artefact donations, aiming to facilitate an exhibition that would benefit both the British Museum and The Butterfly Club. Lastly, Luna's eagerness to rejoin The Butterfly Club stems from her desire for more adventures.
