Daring Do, series 2, book 5 excerpt:
"THIS was real archaeology. None of the death defying adventure, none of the villains, just Daring Do and the old stone.
Daring Do stood beside such a stone that she’d been looking over for the better part of an hour. She’d made a rubbing of the markings, she’d measured it, weighed it, checked how solid and strong it was, and measured the angle of its placement in comparison to nearby stones. All of which told her these were at least six thousand years old. The building techniques matched those of the period, and also matched references to other discoveries in the area. Maybe this had been a thriving populace once and the many temples had been part of one big city.
Celestia this was boring work. But so therapeutic. Daring hadn’t felt this relaxed in a very long time.
She smiled to herself, letting out a happy sigh before turning to work on the next stone. Until she stopped…
There was a susurrus. A rustling. A whisper. The smallest hint of a hoof on soil. The distant sound of shallow breath. Daring Do was not alone."
