The arrival of the deportees displaying red caps and sashes is an ugly thing. One should never have brought these people back. They had grown accustomed over there and will be strangers here, God knows what complications may arise from these returns of husbands and wives after ten years of absence.
I have not time to tell you how I would act with the opinion that demanded this return...
Bojidar has returned from Paris, we are few: We are, the Princess, her husband, Bojidar and Moraes.
