He was my mother's last child, and the Pasha feared that he should be left without a son. In this dilemma, he expressed to the Buyuk Hanoum his desire to contract a second marriage ; but this she would by no means per- mit. She could not, however, avoid seeing that his anxiety was but too well founded : and she accordingly proposed a compromise, to which THE ODALIQUES. 241 he at once agreed. Without loss of time, he wrote to a friend in Constantinople to purchase for him four young Circassians,... and to embark them, under the charge of an elderly woman, for Albania.
"Young as I was, I shall not attempt to de- scribe to you my mortification on their arrival. I saw the tears of my mother, which, when alone with me, she did not attempt to suppress ; we had hitherto had but one heart and one in- terest in the harem of my father, and we became suddenly domesticated with strangers women of another land and another language ; to whom we were knit by no ties, bound by no sympathies.
" But all this is idle.
