The opening of the second volume introduces us to a letter from Faith Claridge, David's relative, detailing significant developments back in England, including the return of Jasper Kimber and the enigmatic chair-maker Soolsby. David is deeply affected by Faith's news, and he reflects on his own journey as he rides through the bustling streets of Cairo. The narrative paints a vivid picture of the socio-political landscape of the time, with descriptions of the laborers, government officials, and cultural backdrop of Cairo. As David grapples with his troubled past, he confronts a pivotal moment when he rescues an English girl, Hylda Maryon, from danger, unknowingly linking their fates in a tragic turn of events. This sequence sets off a chain of introspection and moral questioning for David, who feels the weight of his actions in a foreign land amid the turbulent currents of history.
