Some months later I returned to
Egypt for second visit, and was anx-

noble father, the late Tewfik Pasha,
conferred the order of the Medgidich

the khedive. The khedive was sur
that Mr.. Penfeld did not wish to take
the trouble, and the grand master Of
ceremonies was instructed to arrange
an informal interview with the khe-
dive, and on the Thursday following I
was conducted to the palace by DR..
ComanoS Pasha, and the grand master
of ceremonies then took me to his high
ness private parlor. Here the khedive
was seated by table, and he motioned

He spoke of many things be-
longing to this country, and / was sur
prised to see that he knows its geog-

they were placed. He wears the Turk

speech, but every word means some
thing. If he lives he will make his
mark among oriental sovereigns.
