A saddler Radawan loses fortune and wife after a tyrant’s rule and a murder scare. He seeks wisdom from Abou Kasim, buys maxims, travels home safely, and, after danger and disguise, reunites with his wife Ayesha and child, finally tasting renewed bliss as the prophet’s wisdom guides his choices.
A historical notice outlines Chinese military dress and arms, compares Tartars to elite banners, and details civil militia duties. It also recounts Queen Charlotte and Princess Elizabeth visiting Rachel Mills, a Quaker house, with humorous exchanges about birds and social expectations.
In Cairo near Bab el Funtenah a saddle-maker Radawan with a timid heart lives quietly with a young wife and son. He cherishes sunset returns to find his home ordered with a black servant, a fat cook, a plump wife at the stairs, and a baby in a carved cradle. He imagines himself a prince with loyal subjects and occasional tyrant fantasies.
