He did not desire to see the new system enforced. Again and again he politely told Robert Hart that he was wasting his time that it was quite useless his remaining longer. But as Robert Hart listened with equal politeness and remained, the Viceroy's patience finally began to wear thin. He then sent a subordinate official to make one last effort to persuade the Officiating Inspector-General to go.
The emperor was so little pleased with the adventure that in truth, according to the same authority, he looked upon the new viceroy's embarrassments with considerable satisfaction, so that it was necessary for Philip to provide for his travelling expenses.
"Wilt Thou indeed?" "I must. At last I shall learn of them why the pharaohs are growing poorer. Well, I shall sleep." THAT same day, in Memphis, Dagon the Phoenician, the viceroy's worthy banker, lay on a couch under the veranda of his mansion. Around him were fragrant potted bushes with needle-like leaves.
Both dispatches received. Welcome. Anstruther." The official staterooms were a bower of floral beauty, and the gallant aid murmured: "I hope that nothing has been forgotten. The whole ship is at your disposal. The Commander has the Viceroy's personal orders. And, I was to give you the letter and this package!" When the banker had exchanged the last words of counsel and advice, he said: "Trust me!

Perhaps it was the Viceroy's way of saying. 'Lie low. That season came up to Simla one of these crazy people with only a single idea.
