Excerpt from Abdallah: Or the Four-Leaved Shamrock
In this new kind of life Mansour was neither less prudent nor less successful. It was a com mon report that his house was paved with gold and precious stones. Little love was bestowed on the Egyptian, who was a stranger in Arabia, and who passed for one of the harshest of credi tors but at Djiddah men dared not openly show contempt for a man who measured gold by the bushel, and as soon as Mansour appeared in the bazaar, all ran to vie for the honor of holding his stirrup and kissing his hand. The merchant re ceived all this homage with the modesty of a man who knows the prerogatives of wealth; thirty years of avarice and cunning had brought all honest men to his feet.
