Novart was exiled with her parents to Mardin. On the road her parents were killed and she alone reached Mardin with the caravan. There an Arab, named Abdullah took her to his house and married her by force. She remained 12 years with the Arab. One day an Armenian tailoress, named Khatun came on business to her house and seeing Novart, she recognized her. Later, the woman informed the priest (our agent) who succeeded in arranging Novart’s escape and in due time he sent her to our rescue-home in Aleppo.
