We survived by selling one jewel after another.<br /> My father's generous baksheeh to the customes official made our departure easy compared to all those who had their shoes and linings torn up to find gold coins the baksheesh was given out generously by my father to the Custom's officials, who closed an eye.A lot of Egyptians became rich!<br />We all left separately and when I was sitting at one of the dingy cafés, a man came up to me and said Miss Vidal, here is your ticket. Inside were my mother's jewels in a box of Craven A cigarettes. <br />My blood turned to water and my teeth chattering . I got up and leaving that so-called ticket went to the ladies'and came back.
