one with back turned, & two looking 

sideways over their shoulders. For

modelling I really think they beat anything I have ever 

seen from any country. 

For the rest the chamber was full, boxes

mostly. One we looked into and it 

contained a most lovely gold & ostrich

feather fan, apparently in perfect condition. 

There were also a number of boats, two 

more chariots and a number of other things. 

My mind was too confused & excited to 

take them in. The whole thing was 

really almost painfully impressive. With 

one exception of the hurried visit of 

the thieves some ten years after the 

King’s death, none had set foot in 

the chamber since the King was laid to 

rest more than three thousand years 

before. One did'nt^sic dare let one’s 

imagination get too vividly to work. 

The figures of the goddesses alone were 

so beautiful that they made a lump 

come in ones^sic throat.
