Tifet awakens to a knocking at her door. 

Walk forward and turn to the right. Click on the door to open it.

A messenger has arrived from Heliopolis. He brings Tifet news 
from her adoptive father Chief Physician Djehouty. Djehouty is
ill, and asks that Tifet come home immediately.

Tifet muses that her father must be very ill to send such a 
message. She vows to leave for Heliopolis immediately. First,
she must take a few items.

Turn around back into the room. Go towards the bench and take 
the Book of Remedies. Just to the right of the book is some eye
ointment - take it. Place both items in your inventory. 

Exit the house to begin the voyage over the desert sands, taking
you to the city of Heliopolis.
