The analyses of a text
The protagonist, one of Amber's princes took, if unstable, the control of realm after the former king, his brother's death.
A while ago, his another brother Caine was killed, and he killed the suspect, he thought, killed his brother, on the spot, but the then and now situations indicate he is the prime suspect.
Now, he is carrying the corpse who might have been the prime suspect.
I skirted the exercise and area and made my way to the trail that led toward the southern end of the palace gardens. Fewer eyes along that route. I would still be spotted, but it would be a lot less awkward than going in the front way, where things are always busy. Damm.
And again, damn, Of troubles I considered myself amply possessed. But those who have do seem to get. Some spiritual form of compound interest, I suppose.
["Sign of the Unicorn" of The Great Book of Amber by Roger Zelazny]
I'd like to know what structure "Of troubles I considered myself amply possessed" has.
And I'd like to know what "But those who have do seem to get" means.
Thank you in advance for your help.
