TAA i.3.9.33

chattels, – there is a human appeal about walking sticks, whips,

a pair of gloves, a wishing cup, a bundle of fly-whisks, boxes

of trussed ducks, a gaming board, and a child's chair. We

suddenly realise that Tutankhamen was a man, as well, as a 

monarch, and that<,> after all<,> he was not so very different from

ourselves. Perhaps that is why one hears him called, more in

sympathy than in disrespect, – "Poor old Tut".

          In bringing my remarks to a close may I emphasise that

in order to cover as much ground as possible I have been obliged

to omit much interesting detail, and also as I am not an arch-

<-a>eologist I have to be careful not to drift out of my depth. But

I shall be happy to think that what I have said this evening

has been sufficiently to whet your appetite for further knowledge

on a subject which I, for one, until recently, had no idea

could be so fascinating and so s/<f>ull of human interest.
