Frank Whemple:
Stuck in the desert for two months, and was it hot! That tomb...
Helen Grosvenor:
What tomb?
Frank Whemple:
Surely you read about the princess?
Helen Grosvenor:
So you did that.
Frank Whemple:
Yes. The fourteen steps down and the unbroken seals were thrilling. But when we came to handle all her clothes and her jewels and her toilet things - you know they buried everything with them that they used in life? - well, when we came to unwrap the girl herself...
Helen Grosvenor:
How could you do that?
Frank Whemple:
Had to! Science, you know. Well after we'd worked among her things, I felt as if I'd known her. But when we got the wrappings off, and I saw her face... you'll think me silly, but I sort of fell in love with her.
Helen Grosvenor:
Do you have to open graves to find girls to fall in love with?
