It was a quarter past two when
we went down into the tomb, and it
was after five when we came out, and
I think we were all fairly dazed, too
dazed even to realise what we had
found. Now it is all buried deep
underground again, waiting for next
season’s work.
Carter came back to dinner with
us that night, and we were all
more or less like crazy people. The
excitement had been too much for us,
and I’m sure anyone coming in would
have said we were/<had> all been taking
too much to drink.
An unforgettable experience, and one
impossible to get onto paper.
