Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Under Queen and Khedive: The Autobiography of an Anglo-Egyptian Official
I was nursed back to life by my mother, and then it was decided that I should not return to school, but must begin in earnest the struggle for daily bread. So I looked out - answering heaps of advertisements - for something to do, and ultimately secured a billet worth sixty pounds a year, and budded forth into the traffic of the world as a bank clerk.
