A covenant-breaker was not allowed in...

The friends in Cairo kept openly three days of mourning, when the learned people of the Mohammedans and other notables, as well as Persians, who are not believers, called to console the friends.

In Alexandria we had continual meetings at my home for several days, during which time one of the violators knocked at my door, desiring to see me and to console me in my grief for the passing of Abdul-Baha, it being an Eastern custom for the people to call, on the occasion of death, and offer their sympathy. The friends who happened to be present at that moment all agreed not to allow him in and insisted that word be sent to him that we would not see him.
