E-text prepared by Audrey Longhurst and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "The Exiles and Other Stories" by Richard Harding Davis is a collection of short stories written in the late 19th century. The stories explore various themes, including adventure, corruption, and the complexities of human relationships. The opening tale follows young Henry Holcombe, the son of a prominent judge, who, after becoming overwhelmed by the weight of expectations and the pressures of his principled life, seeks solace in the chaotic and exotic atmosphere of Tangier. At the start of the book, we meet Henry Holcombe, whose moral fervor and dedication to social reform quickly lead him to political and personal exhaustion. Following a doctor's recommendation, he travels to Tangier seeking rest and recovery, but his journey takes a twist when he unexpectedly encounters Patrick Meakim, a police commissioner with a criminal background. This chance meeting unveils the darker side of the expatriate lifestyle, as Holcombe is drawn into the intrigues and moral ambiguities of Tangier's expatriate community. Ennone's adventure unfolds against the backdrop of both his internal struggle and the external conflict with embezzler Winthrop Allen, leading to a dramatic exploration of justice, identity, and the thin line between civilization and savagery.
