He starts by telling us about the climb itself, but quickly shifts the focus from the event to Hillary's incomplete account about it. Then, he continues to describe the adventure, stopping from time to time, and referring again to Hillary's view. His narration is interrupted with these occasional comments. Apparently, his goal is to provide a more complete and objective account. The point he draws the reader to is that the climb would have been impossible if it weren't for the two of them, and that it is entirely irrelevant who made the first step.
Two specific examples of Dravot and Carnehan embracing their fantasy of being kings are:
- Dravot breaks a man's neck -this man was trying to rob other men- and then fires a gun at twenty more men. Because of this, the men think he is a great god and they make him their king, and so Dravot says that he would make fine nation out of them, or he would perish in the making. This properly shows him embracing his fantasy of being king.
- Carnehan conquers a different kingdom and tells Dravot that the abundance of his kingdom is more than he could ever handle. Subsequently, Dravot crowns himself and Carnehan too. Carnehan considers the crowning a proper miracle. This last sentence properly shows him embracing his fantasy of being king.
