I was in Egypt for three years when I was quite a young man. I was very small fry then, but I came into collision with Osman and he tried to poison me. I was very ill for two months, and he's never forgiven me because I recovered. (APPLEBY: What a scoundrel!) He would be a little out of place in a Nonconformist community. In the good old days of Ismael he had one of his wives beaten to death and thrown into the Nile. (APPLEBY: But is it right to give high office to a man of that character?) They were the manners and customs of the times.
