Qabihah Says The Oleander Has Been Renamed The Qabihah Bush
Dear Readers,
It has been many years since I ruled with the Sultan. During those years I have lived in retirement and seclusion. But I am still the Storm Center of Cairo. Nothing happens in this desert city that doesn't pass through me first. Even now that we have new British masters changes nothing. The men from northern climes have become equally embroiled with me.
They have heard of my reputation. They know to show up on my doorstep if they want something done. The British governor has contacted me through an intermediary when he wanted a rival eliminated. Merchants have told me that I am worth my weight in gold. One presented me with just that after I got rid of his chief competition. An English m'lady or two has not thought me beneath them. They have given me money to give them their freedom from their husbands.
The nerium has become very popular in the gardens of Cairo. People like to imitate me, but rarely do they gave the will to act as I act. In fact, I have been told that the oleander has been renamed the Qabihah bush along the Nile.
Sincerely yours,
Qabihah, Witch of Cairo
P.S. You may read of my adventures in Dora, Lady Ware's, memoir called Hitler's Daughter.
