CROCODILE ON THE SANDBANK

The period setting Miss Peters uses this time is to her advantage since she always was more then than now, and this follows in the intrepid footsteps of Miss Amelia Peabody (maiden lady) and the young woman (ex-maiden traduced) she salvages as they trip through the tombs of Egypt. With an archaeologist and some assorted others and a mummy who keeps appearing and disappearing. Here and there you might almost suspect that Miss Peters is twitting the category — in any case it's still loweroglyphics for those who barely read — anything better.
