I suspect dat is pure legend, but a truly scientific mind does not dismiss a t’eory simply because it – ’ ‘Ramses, I am surprised

This was much the same view that, over sixty years ago, Papa and Mummie had looked down upon from their window in Church Row; but their eyes had not seen as far, their range was limited, and the lights were not so bright nor yet so many. They had been contented with obscurity; they had not ventured far, and had dreamed dreams amongst the firelight and the shadows.

You see we are in London after all, and poor Sidmouth left afar. I am almost inclined to say ‘poor us’ instead of ‘poor Sidmouth.’ But I dare say I shall soon be able to see in my dungeon, and begin to be amused with the spiders. Half my soul, in the meantime, seems to have stayed behind on the seashore, which I love more than ever now that I cannot walk on it in the body. London is wrapped up like a mummy, in a yellow mist, so closely that I have had scarcely a glimpse of its countenance since we came. Well, I am trying to like it all very much, and I dare say that in time I may change my taste and my senses — and succeed. We are in a house large enough to hold us, for four months, at the end of which time, if the experiment of our being able to live in London succeed, I believe that papa’s intention is to take an unfurnished house and have his furniture from Ledbury.

Mummy gasps. Papa laughs. I suck in my lips, trapping a smile in my cheeks like a firefly in a jar.

Ah, the mummy of Seqenenre,” I said. “Have you got as far as that?” From the small figure on the cot came a reflective voice. “It appeaws to me that he was muwduwed.” “What?” said Emerson, baffled by the last word. “Murdered,” I interpreted. “I would have to agree, Ramses; a man whose skull has been smashed by repeated blows did not die a natural death.” Sarcasm is wasted on Ramses. “I mean,” he insisted, “that it was a domestic cwime.” “Out of the question,” Emerson exclaimed. “Petrie has also put forth that absurd idea; it is impossible because—” “Enough,” I said. “It is late and Ramses should be asleep. Cook will be furious if we do not go down at once.” “Oh, very well.” Emerson bent over the cot. “Good night, my boy.” “Good night, Papa. One of the ladies of the hawem did it, I think.

women do try to initiate action a negative culture comes down hard to break them. Aaliya, 22, who is in the fashion industry, holds her breath, her lips tighten and her face visibly clouds over when asked about initiative. She says, ‘We are strong but not perceived as strong. For example, if I want to start something and I feel strongly about it, Papa and Mummy will always say, no, this is not good and you can’t do it and they break your confidence.’ When the mantra at home is don’t do this, you will fail, don’t try this, you will never learn it, don’t do this, you will get sick, some girls fight back, but at some level the messages get absorbed
