As Ichabod and the pert Nancy advance, Miss Randolph can also see that Mark has spoken truly; there is something like intense excitement visible in their manner. The young miss shows it in her face, while he looks stern and glowering. "What do you think! I've seen somebody!" exclaims Nancy, almost out of breath, her hat pushed back on her curly locks, her cheeks flushed. "The marquis?" says Amy, quietly. "No, but a man you dislike as thoroughly as I do that impertinent individual." "Indeed!" "You remember the fellow who kept staring at you in Constantinople? well, he's here!" "Only an accident, probably; he has never addressed nor insulted me, only stared rudely." "Wait until you hear my story." "We are dying with curiosity; proceed," says El Capitan, who has as yet never heard about this party given to rude staring, and desires further information on the subject. "We were walking on the Ring-strasse, enjoying the sights one never gets tired of in Vienna, when suddenly there was a commotion near by. Ichabod was for going to see what was the matter, just like a man, but I was afraid it might be a mad dog, or something of that sort, so I begged him to be careful. "Well, he left me for a minute standing beside that wonderful fountain we admired so much. Hardly had he gone before some one touched me on the shoulder; some one who must have been very near when Ichabod went away. I turned, and gave a little squeal; couldn't help it, I declare, when I saw the same man who stared so hard at you in Stamboul, looking me eagerly in the face.

Shelly Lantz is a wife, homemaker, and joyful friend. If you met her today, you'd never know her untold story, the harrowing true tale of a young American girl who found herself abandoned in a stench-ridden Turkish prison cell. It's a story like none other, and in this book, Shelly shares the most intimate, devastating, and ultimately miraculous series of events you've ever read. When news of Shelly's imprisonment in Turkey hit airwaves around the world, her cries for help went unheard. Alone and forgotten, she had countless hours to reminisce how she ended up in a cold, dank cell on the other side of the world. Her traumatic childhood and a series of bad decisions had long caged her in a world of violence, drugs, and prostitution. While languishing in prison, a Bible was miraculously smuggled to Shelly by an American soldier and his wife. The events and miracles that followed are extraordinary and will be an ever-present reminder of God's love and grace.
