I was rereading PP last night, and suddenly the sentence about Mr. Callum going to a conference struck me. It was a conference of "archaeologists upon the roman wall." I suddenly pictured a row of archaeologists sitting politely in a row on Hadrian's Wall, passing their papers (and perhaps sandwiches at lunch) back and forth. No wonder he wanted Mrs. Callum to go along.
