I guess the man never heard the Alchemist mention that he was sustaned by drinking the elxir in small amounts over the years. Uh, duh. When the Alchemist died, did it not occur to the former husband that the once dead bride would only last a short time. It did to me. I woudl have sealed her up in the tomb with her dead father. Three stupid characters. The Alchemist should have finished the sentence. You are better off not waking the dead because when I die there ain't no more elxir, you big dummy. Not a grand spoke story. Too many plot holes. Oh, yeah, someone please take care of the kids. Again, I must stress, accents. I don't believe this took place in the US, right??
