David had not yet been fortunate with his own business the settlement of his Uncle Benn's estate though the last stages of negotiation with the Prince Pasha seemed to have been reached. When he had brought the influence of the British Consulate to bear, promises were made, doors were opened wide, and Pasha and Bey offered him coffee and talked to him sympathetically.
Davy is doing what it was in Benn's heart to do. Benn showed the way; Benn called, and Davy came." He laid both hands upon his knees and raised his eyes.
