The truculence, greed and obstinacy, of this breaker of the Covenant of Baha'u'llah demonstrated by her persistent refusal to sell and by the exorbitant price subsequently demanded, raised, during more than thirty years, an almost insurmountable obstacle to the acquisition of an area which, however circumscribed, occupies a central position amidst the extensive Baha'i domains in the heart of God's Holy Mountain, is situated in the vicinity of the Bab's Sepulcher, overlooks the Tomb of the Greatest Holy Leaf, and adjoins the resting-places of the Brother and the Mother of `Abdu'l-Baha , and which, through deliberate neglect, has been allowed to become an eyesore to all those who throng the embellished precincts of a Mausoleum rightly regarded as the second holiest Shrine in the Baha'i world.
(73:4)
