"I happened to be of assistance to Sir Harry Kaid MacLean who was at that time Commander-in-Chief and Man-of-Affairs to the Sultan of Morocco." My answer seemed to please the Emperor, for his eyes gleamed. "Any likelihood of his remembering your services?" I hesitated, then said: "I cannot vouch for another man's memory, sire.

His allegiance, given so early to the sublimest of pursuits, held him to the end.
