<<<in the words of a Victorian lady admirer, the colonel "sat down before the great Pyramid as a fortress to be beseiged, and through winter and spring and the burning summer of Egypt, long after all the travellers had left the country, became the sole director of operations, clerk of the works and paymaster of his hundreds of workmen, day after day,month after month, until they had wrought out his own ideas of pyramidical exploratiion to the full. For not only was he one of those men who was never known to turn back after having put his hand to the plow, but he was a religiously [sic] minded man, a devout Christian, who felt that he was in this case called to a certain work for the Master, and though in the first instance he had distrusted himself in a new field of labor so that he had thought it better to use the purchased help of the Italian proffessional, yet when that failed he became a most admirable example to all kinds of men, rich and poor alike, of giving himself to the work, putting his own shoulder to the wheel, and never quitting it until the end was gained, during all the time, too, preserving the utmost urbanity, but dealing out the strictest justice in a manner that made a most honorable and lasting impression on the tawny Arabs around him" >>>
