He immediately receives four white feathers-symbols of cowardice-one each from his three best friends and his fianc e. To disprove this grave dishonor, Harry dons an Arabian disguise and leaves for the Sudan, where he anonymously comes to the aid of his three friends, saving each of their lives. Having proved his bravery, Harry returns to England, hoping to regain the love and respect of his fianc e.
