CHAPTER Fourteen.
"Windy bellies without hearts in them." Djemal's coffee shop is run by a Turkish gentleman whose real name is Yussuf.

One name, and the shorter the better, had been plenty in the days when Djemal Pasha ran Jerusalem with iron ruthlessness, and consequent success of a certain sort.

When Djemal was the Turkish Governor, every proprietor of every kind of shop had to stand in the doorway at attention whenever Djemal passed, and woe betide the laggard! It would not have paid any one, in those days, to name any sort of shop after Djemal Pasha.

Even the provider of the rope that throttled the offender would have made no profit, because the rope would simply have been looted from the nearest store.
The hangman would have been the nearest soldier, whose pay was already two years in arrears.

So Yussuf's own name done in Turkish characters used to stand over the door before the British came.
It was Djemal Pasha's considered judgment that Yussuf cooked the best coffee in Jerusalem.
