I had not long married, and my wife was a very hand- some young woman, to whom I was passionately attached. We were the Hospodar' s guests at Topchidereh, his summer palace. Had I been his brother he could not have treated me with more demonstrative affection and consideration. One day he charged me with a message to the Skuptschina, then in session at Kragujevacz. Of course I obeyed his commands. My wife, who was chief lady-in-waiting to the Princess, remained in the palace. Our apartments wer...e on the second floor, facing the flower-garden. "Within four-and-twenty hours of my 240 MILOSCH. departure Milosch roused my wife from sleep by knocking at her bedroom door and demanding entrance. Although all but terrified out of her wits, she refused to open the door, whereupon he burst it in with his shoulder and rushed towards the bed. She, however, had risen and thrown open the double lattice of the window, which reached to the floor. As he advanced towards her with outstretched hands, she sprang out into the air without an instant's hesitation, and, falling heavily to the ground from a height of nearly forty feet, snapped her right thigh-bone in twain.
