The Khalif marvelled at the merchant's generosity and said, 'Gifted of God is he! Never heard I of his like. And he bade Ibrahim bring him to court, that he might see him.

There was the case of the English Sergeant Larnce-Ishmeet whom he spared and sent into the English lines in the little Border War." "Lance-Sergeant Smith?
