There is a town on the Nile which Fielding Bey called Hasha, meaning "Heaven Forbid!" He loathed inspecting it. Going up the Nile, he would put off visiting it till he came down; coming down, he thanked his fates if accident carried him beyond it. Convenient accidents sometimes did occur: a murder at one of the villages below it, asking his immediate presence; a telegram from his Minister at Cairo, requiring his return; or a very low Nile, when Hasha suddenly found itself a mile away from the channel and there was no good place to land. So it was that Hasha, with little inspection, was the least reputable and almost the dirtiest town on the Nile; for even in those far-off days the official Englishman had his influence, especially when Kubar Pasha was behind him. Kubar had his good points.There were certain definite reasons, however, why Fielding Bey shrank from visiting Hasha. Donovan Pasha saw something was wrong from the first moment Hasha was mentioned.On a particular day they were lying below at another village, on the Amenhotep. Hasha was the next place marked red on the map, and that meant inspection. When Dicky Donovan mentioned Hasha, Fielding Bey twisted a shoulder and walked nervously up and down the deck. He stayed here for hours: to wait for the next post, he said-serious matters expected from head quarters. He appeared not to realise that letters would get to Hasha by rail as quickly as by the Amenhotep.Every man has a weak spot in his character, a sub-rosa, as it were, in his business of life; and Dicky fancied he had found Fielding Bey's. While they waited, Fielding made a pretence of working hard-for he really was conscientious-sending his orderly for the mamour-[magistrate]-and the omdah-[head of a village]-, and holding fatuous conferences; turning the hose on the local dairymen and butchers and dategrowers, who came with backsheesh in kind; burying his nose in official papers; or sending for Holgate, the Yorkshire engineer, to find out what the run would be to the next stopping-place beyond Hasha. Twice he did this; which was very little like Fielding Bey. The second time, when Holgate came below to his engine, Dicky was there playing with a Farshoot dog."We don't stop at Hasha, then?" Dicky asked, and let the Farshoot fasten on his leggings.Holgate swung round and eyed Dicky curiously, a queer smile at his lips."Not if Goovnur can 'elp, aw give ye ma woord, sir," answered Holgate.Fielding was affectionately called "the Governor" by his subordinates and friends."We all have our likes and dislikes," rejoined Dicky casually, and blew smoke in the eyes of the Farshoot. "Aye, aw've seen places that bad! but Hasha has taaste of its own in Goovnur's mouth, ma life on't!""Never can tell when a thing'll pall on the taste. Hasha's turn with the Governor now, eh?" rejoined Dicky.Dicky's way of getting information seemed guileless, and Holgate opened his basket as wide as he knew. "Toorn, didst tha sway" (Holgate talked broadly to Dicky always, for Dicky had told him of his aunt, Lady Carmichael, who lived near Halifax in Yorkshire), "toorn, aw warrant! It be reg'lar as kitchen-fire, this Hasha business, for three years, ever sin' aw been scrapin' mud o' Nile River.""That was a nasty row they had over the cemetery three years ago, the Governor against the lot, from mamour to wekeel!"Holgate's eyes flashed, and he looked almost angrily down at Dicky, whose hand was between the teeth of the playful Farshoot.

The story is set in the late 19th century and follows the life of John Grier, a self-made millionaire who is known as the ""Money Master"". Grier is a shrewd businessman who has amassed a fortune through his investments and deals in the stock market.The novel explores the themes of wealth, power, and love, as Grier navigates his way through the complexities of his personal and professional life. He is a man who is driven by his ambition and desire for success, but he is also haunted by his past and the mistakes he has made.As the story unfolds, Grier becomes involved in a love triangle with two women, one of whom is his former love interest and the other is a young woman who is new to his social circle. His relationships with these women are complicated by his own insecurities and the pressures of his public image as a wealthy and powerful man.Throughout the novel, Parker provides a vivid portrayal of the world of high finance and the social hierarchy of the time.

It was a thing so exquisite that a man of sentiment like Jean Jacques in his younger days would have wept to see. And the feeling was as palpable as the seeing; as in the early spring the new life which is being born in the year, produces a febrile kind of sorrow in the mind. But the glow of Indian summer, that compromise, that after-thought of real summer, which brings her back for another good-bye ere she vanishes for ever--its sadness is of a different kind. Its longing has a sharper edge; there stir in it the pangs of discontent; and the mind and body yearn for solace. It is a dangerous time, even more dangerous than spring for those who have passed the days of youth.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

""For all of ten days I had been alone, except for the cattlemen camping a mile away and an old Indian helper who slept in his tepee within call.

He told me to ask old Throw Hard, the Indian helper, if he had spoken the truth.
