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.
