A TURKISH HELL
"His Majesty the Sultan, to whom I hurried on leaving the doctor, expressed the warmest satisfaction at the report which I was able to make to him, and, naturally enough, was especially interested at the news of Maraboukh Pasha's death.
He questioned me with much ingenuity as to what I knew of the plot and the men in it; but having no liking for the part of public informer, I gave him to understand that my knowledge was limited to what I had heard from Maraboukh's own lips, and I professed complete ignorance of all names; adding that as Maraboukh's house was in the hands of the Zaptiehs, they no doubt would make use of their opportunities.
He was profoundly moved by the news of Grant's condition, and that he had knowingly gone to his death in order to save His Majesty's life. The drift of his questions showed me that he looked upon the act as a signal proof of Grant's devotion to him"
