When Jeffries finally does arrive, fully an hour late, he is apologetic and cheerful, with a grin on his angular face. After greeting the class enthusiastically in ancient Egyptian -- "Hautep!" -- and receiving a decidedly lukewarm "Hautep" back, he explains that he has been trying to retrieve his clothes from the laundry, but it has burned down...
