            When the deportation began, her father was in America. Baydzar and her mother were not exiled but both of them were taken by a Turk and were kept in his house in their native country. The Turk married her mother by force. In the process of time she came secretly into communication with her husband in America. The latter advised her to flee away with Baydzar but she was not able to do it, while her owner was keeping hard watch upon them. At last her husband came from America to Aleppo to rescue his family, but it was in vain and the poor man died in grief and anger. When Baydzar grew up, the Turk wanted to marry her to the Turks but her mother found a chance to send her to Aleppo.
