Synopsis
Excerpt from Letters From Constantinople
Saw many things under the most favourable circumstances, being accompanied everywhere during the three months of our stay by one of the Palace aides-de-camp, whose Imperial uniform gained us access to places which no amount of bakshish would have opened to us. The idea of any danger, when passing along the crowded streets of Stambul, or visiting any of the Mosques, or the more desolate and deserted memorials of the Byzantine Empire, never crossed our minds, and we left with an earnest desire to return. After the events of last year that desire will hardly be realized, nor is it likely now that the chief object I had in view in publishing these letters will be fulfilled, and that others will be persuaded by them to spend their holidays in the soft air and the lovely scenes of the Bosphorus.
It will be seen that a few of the letters are written by my husband.
