The Russians paid no regard to the condition we were in; but there are French surgeons in all parts of the world, and one of them took us under his care, and cured us. I shall never forget, while I live, that as soon as my wounds were perfectly healed he made me certain proposals.
En todas partes se encuentran cirujanos franceses; uno que era muy hábil nos tomó á su cargo, y nos curó: y toda mi vida me acordaré de que, así que se cerráron mis llagas, me reqüestó de amores.
