And now, as quoted out of the Amelia Peabody series, I present for you the case for why, should these delightful books ever get made into movies, Russell Crowe should have the role of Emerson:

"...During his active career he had featured prominently in sensational newspaper stories. As one reporter had explained to me, 'He makes such splendid copy, Mrs. Emerson--always shouting and striking people.'" - p.6, The Curse of the Pharoahs

Today, I am finding this quote extremely apt.
