The old murderer refused, saying that he had not much religion, but he would not give up the Greek Church! So he was hung, and the Greeks regarded him as a martyr to the faith! Ishoc's father was as bad as the grandfather, and trained Ishoc to the society of dancing girls and strolling minstrels.

When Ishoc became a Protestant, the father took down his sword to cut off his head, but his mother interceded and saved his life.

Afterwards his father one day asked him if it was possible that a murderer, son of a murderer, could be saved.

He died a true Christian, and the widowed mother is now living with Ishoc in Beirut.
