Jude Watson Quote

Just then a word floated out through the buzz saw of Zapata-speak: . Dan tuned back in....the most beautiful tomb in Egypt, Ms. Zapata was saying. You probably know the queen because there's a famous bust of her.A photo flashed on the screen.Dan raised his hand. That's Nefertiti, he said. Different queen.Ms. Zapata frowned. She looked at her notes. You could be right, Dan. Uh...let's move on.Another slide flashed on-screen. Now, this is the inner chamber of the tomb, where she was laid to rest.Dan's hand rose again. Ms. Zapata closed her eyes.Actually? That's the side chamber.Really. Ms. Zapata's lips pressed together. And how do you know this, Dan?Because... Dan hesitated. .Especially since the tomb is closed for conservation, Ms. Zapata said.
