The
government
of
France
were
greatly
enraged
at
the
escape
of
their
victim
and
spared
no
pains
to
detect
and
punish
his
deliverer
.
The
plot
of
Felix
was
quickly
discovered
,
and
De
Lacey
and
Agatha
were
thrown
into
prison
.
The
news
reached
Felix
and
roused
him
from
his
dream
of
pleasure
.
His
blind
and
aged
father
and
his
gentle
sister
lay
in
a
noisome
dungeon
while
he
enjoyed
the
free
air
and
the
society
of
her
whom
he
loved
.
This
idea
was
torture
to
him
.
He
quickly
arranged
with
the
Turk
that
if
the
latter
should
find
a
favourable
opportunity
for
escape
before
Felix
could
return
to
Italy
,
Safie
should
remain
as
a
boarder
at
a
convent
at
Leghorn
;
and
then
,
quitting
the
lovely
Arabian
,
he
hastened
to
Paris
and
delivered
himself
up
to
the
vengeance
of
the
law
,
hoping
to
free
De
Lacey
and
Agatha
by
this
proceeding
.
"
He
did
not
succeed
.
They
remained
confined
for
five
months
before
the
trial
took
place
,
the
result
of
which
deprived
them
of
their
fortune
and
condemned
them
to
a
perpetual
exile
from
their
native
country
.
"
They
found
a
miserable
asylum
in
the
cottage
in
Germany
,
where
I
discovered
them
.
Felix
soon
learned
that
the
treacherous
Turk
,
for
whom
he
and
his
family
endured
such
unheard-of
oppression
,
on
discovering
that
his
deliverer
was
thus
reduced
to
poverty
and
ruin
,
became
a
traitor
to
good
feeling
and
honour
and
had
quitted
Italy
with
his
daughter
,
insultingly
sending
Felix
a
pittance
of
money
to
aid
him
,
as
he
said
,
in
some
plan
of
future
maintenance
.
"
Such
were
the
events
that
preyed
on
the
heart
of
Felix
and
rendered
him
,
when
I
first
saw
him
,
the
most
miserable
of
his
family
.
He
could
have
endured
poverty
,
and
while
this
distress
had
been
the
meed
of
his
virtue
,
he
gloried
in
it
;
but
the
ingratitude
of
the
Turk
and
the
loss
of
his
beloved
Safie
were
misfortunes
more
bitter
and
irreparable
.
The
arrival
of
the
Arabian
now
infused
new
life
into
his
soul
.
"
When
the
news
reached
Leghorn
that
Felix
was
deprived
of
his
wealth
and
rank
,
the
merchant
commanded
his
daughter
to
think
no
more
of
her
lover
,
but
to
prepare
to
return
to
her
native
country
.
The
generous
nature
of
Safie
was
outraged
by
this
command
;
she
attempted
to
expostulate
with
her
father
,
but
he
left
her
angrily
,
reiterating
his
tyrannical
mandate
.
"
A
few
days
after
,
the
Turk
entered
his
daughter
's
apartment
and
told
her
hastily
that
he
had
reason
to
believe
that
his
residence
at
Leghorn
had
been
divulged
and
that
he
should
speedily
be
delivered
up
to
the
French
government
;
he
had
consequently
hired
a
vessel
to
convey
him
to
Constantinople
,
for
which
city
he
should
sail
in
a
few
hours
.
He
intended
to
leave
his
daughter
under
the
care
of
a
confidential
servant
,
to
follow
at
her
leisure
with
the
greater
part
of
his
property
,
which
had
not
yet
arrived
at
Leghorn
.
"
When
alone
,
Safie
resolved
in
her
own
mind
the
plan
of
conduct
that
it
would
become
her
to
pursue
in
this
emergency
.
A
residence
in
Turkey
was
abhorrent
to
her
;
her
religion
and
her
feelings
were
alike
averse
to
it
.
By
some
papers
of
her
father
which
fell
into
her
hands
she
heard
of
the
exile
of
her
lover
and
learnt
the
name
of
the
spot
where
he
then
resided
.
She
hesitated
some
time
,
but
at
length
she
formed
her
determination
.
Taking
with
her
some
jewels
that
belonged
to
her
and
a
sum
of
money
,
she
quitted
Italy
with
an
attendant
,
a
native
of
Leghorn
,
but
who
understood
the
common
language
of
Turkey
,
and
departed
for
Germany
.
"
She
arrived
in
safety
at
a
town
about
twenty
leagues
from
the
cottage
of
De
Lacey
,
when
her
attendant
fell
dangerously
ill
.
Safie
nursed
her
with
the
most
devoted
affection
,
but
the
poor
girl
died
,
and
the
Arabian
was
left
alone
,
unacquainted
with
the
language
of
the
country
and
utterly
ignorant
of
the
customs
of
the
world
.
She
fell
,
however
,
into
good
hands
.
The
Italian
had
mentioned
the
name
of
the
spot
for
which
they
were
bound
,
and
after
her
death
the
woman
of
the
house
in
which
they
had
lived
took
care
that
Safie
should
arrive
in
safety
at
the
cottage
of
her
lover
.
"
Such
was
the
history
of
my
beloved
cottagers
.
It
impressed
me
deeply
.
I
learned
,
from
the
views
of
social
life
which
it
developed
,
to
admire
their
virtues
and
to
deprecate
the
vices
of
mankind
.
"
As
yet
I
looked
upon
crime
as
a
distant
evil
,
benevolence
and
generosity
were
ever
present
before
me
,
inciting
within
me
a
desire
to
become
an
actor
in
the
busy
scene
where
so
many
admirable
qualities
were
called
forth
and
displayed
.
But
in
giving
an
account
of
the
progress
of
my
intellect
,
I
must
not
omit
a
circumstance
which
occurred
in
the
beginning
of
the
month
of
August
of
the
same
year
.
"
One
night
during
my
accustomed
visit
to
the
neighbouring
wood
where
I
collected
my
own
food
and
brought
home
firing
for
my
protectors
,
I
found
on
the
ground
a
leathern
portmanteau
containing
several
articles
of
dress
and
some
books
.
I
eagerly
seized
the
prize
and
returned
with
it
to
my
hovel
.
Fortunately
the
books
were
written
in
the
language
,
the
elements
of
which
I
had
acquired
at
the
cottage
;
they
consisted
of
Paradise
Lost
,
a
volume
of
Plutarch
's
Lives
,
and
the
Sorrows
of
Werter
.
The
possession
of
these
treasures
gave
me
extreme
delight
;
I
now
continually
studied
and
exercised
my
mind
upon
these
histories
,
whilst
my
friends
were
employed
in
their
ordinary
occupations
.
