iii 페이지 - Their dearest action in the tented field; And little of this great world can I speak, More than pertains to feats of broil and battle; And therefore little shall I grace my cause In speaking for myself. Yet, by your gracious patience, I will a round...
iii 페이지 - I ran it through, even from my boyish days To the very moment that he bade me tell it; Wherein I spake of most disastrous chances, Of moving accidents by flood and field, Of hair-breadth 'scapes i...
229 페이지 - Many died in the waggons and were thrown out as the train moved along by their friends, now apparently rendered callous by extreme misery. Others were left where they died in the waggons, and were trodden on and crushed by their living comrades.
vi 페이지 - Turkish villagers, are loud in their complaints of the injustice and tyranny of the Turkish officials. All — from the governor-general to the hangman — think it right and just, when on a journey, to quarter themselves on the peasants, without ever thinking of paying ; and at the same time they demand the services of their host and his family, and the best of everything there is to be had. The largest and most prosperous of the villages are built as far as possible from the main roads leading...
91 페이지 - Government employ, from the yasie (clerk) to the highest in office ? They are all dishonest, and only live to increase their wealth, and, as long as they can do this by fair means or foul, care nothing for others or what may come after them. Their word is never to be relied on, and their most sacred promises stand for nothing. They cringe and fawn on all they think above them, and are brutal and overbearing to their inferiors. They are barbarians from highest to lowest. They have failed to adopt...
vi 페이지 - ... of paying ; and at the same time they demand the services of their host and his family, and the best of everything there is to be had. The largest and most prosperous of the villages are built as far as possible from the main roads leading to and from the fortified towns, such as Widdin, Rustchuk, Shumla, &c. If they are on the line of march, the troops live on them at free quarters, their carts and beasts are seized for transport services, and the owners themselves forced to accompany them as...
92 페이지 - are spent in stuffy emelling rooms, smoking cigarettes and eating sweetmeats, and the only excitement of the day is paying visits to other women, or stewing in the debilitating bath. They have no rational subject of conversation, so naturally drift into filthy discussions and obscene stories. Their companions are their slaves — black niggers from the centre of Africa, or pretty Georgians who have been bred and reared for the market. Their minds never expand and are a wretched blank From what I...
14 페이지 - Zaptieh's pay is not much, it is a post greatly coveted. It would be far better for the poor Bulgars were they allowed to protect themselves instead of having these Government ruffians let loose on them.
92 페이지 - ... Until the boy is ten years old he lives in the harem with the women, and listens all day to their low, ignorant conversation. He is stuffed with unwholesome food, and allowed to do just as he likes ; in fact both mind and body are poisoned in the most perfect way. At ten years old the fledgeling Pasha hops forth from the maternal nest and pecks about among his father's numerous servants in the kitchen and stable yard ; he soon learns, if he has not already done so, to use disgusting oaths, to...
vii 페이지 - ... Gebedji, which is partly Turkish, partly Bulgar. On entering it one is at once struck by the appearance of prosperity exhibited in the well-built houses and large flocks of cattle. Between this village and the road is a swamp with a narrow but deep brook running through it. To assist in the construction of the line which passed by the village, I caused a road to be made across the marsh and a wooden bridge thrown over the brook. The first night after the bridge was completed it was cut down ;...
