When the Bulgarians retired we searched in vain for my dear sister. She was nowhere to be found; but the bodies of my father, mother, and myself, with two servant maids and three little boys, all of whom had been murdered by the remorseless enemy, were thrown into a cart to be buried in a chapel belonging to the Jesuits, within two leagues of our family seat.
Quando se retiráron los Bulgaros, nadie pudo dar lengua de esta adorable hermana, y echáron en una carreta á mi madre, á mi padre, y á mí, á dos criadas, y tres muchachos degollados, para enterrarnos en una iglesia de jesuitas, que dista dos leguas de la quinta de mi padre.
