The younger sister, who was in a room apart, hearing the noise, came out hastily to see. As she was coming her lover appeared and gave her a blow which knocked out one of her eyes. Upon this the confusion and the uproar were redoubled. The people in the procession, observing the disorder in the house, entered in numbers to accommodate matters. The three companions of the Rajava woman, seeing succour entering the house, disappeared at once in a little boat of dough made of fine flour, which they had prepared for the purpose. Along with them went the two lovers, and the two sisters were left wounded in the house. The Rajava woman, wanting to make off like the others, could not reach either the boat or the other fugitives. She was tortured, and confessed that what has been told above was done by her diabolical arts. She was hanged and quartered. The elder sister brought forth a son, to whom she gave the same name as the father, and all the town called [251] him 'Son of the Devil.'
