Sir Joseph Whemple
That was the contract. The British Museum works for the cause of science, not for loot.

Desert Adventures and Historical Discoveries
Frank Whemple
Stuck in the desert for two months, and it was hot! That tomb...
Helen/The Princess
What tomb?
Frank Whemple
Surely you read about the princess?
Helen/The Princess
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/The Princess
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/The Princess
Do you have to open graves to find girls to fall in love with?
