To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A certain Turkish Admiral, of some importance as far as influence goes, had a daughter of comparative youth only, and afflicted like Leah with some trouble of the eyes which made her helpless much of the time, with injury to her prospects of matrimony. The Admiral had unhap- pily seen the young officer and wished to marry him to his daut^hter. When the officer declined the offer THE OLD SULTAN 101 with thanks, the Admiral, Laban-like, said that marry her he must; otherwise he would order the yo...ung man to the naval station at Bussora, on the Persian Gulf, for three years. To be sent to Bussora is like being sent to Cuba in yellow -fever time. "The young man came to me asking, 'Must I marry this sore-eyed girl?' I could not help him. The or- der for his exile to Bussora was actually issued, and only overruled by the appeal at my suggestion of the weeping mother of my friend to a Pasha of high rank who was a native of the same city in Bulgaria as Ahmed Bey, and who had access to the ear of the Sultan.
