to the judge my husband is still alive。 It was only because Hasan tried to take 
advantage  of  me  during  his  older  brother¨s  absence�察 �a  failed  assault  that 
embarrassed  my  father´in´law�察 �that  I  was  allowed  to  return  to  my  father¨s 
home though not officially a widow。 But now that my father is dead and I am 
without even a brother�察�there is no question that my only possible guardians 
are  my  husband¨s  brother  and  my  father´in´law。  They¨ve  already  been 
scheming  to  have  me  returned  to  their  home�察 �coercing  my  father�察 �and 
threatening me。 Once they hear my father is dead�察�they won¨t hesitate to take 
official action。 My only hope to prevent this is to conceal my father¨s death。 
Perhaps in vain�察�for they may be the ones behind the crime。 ̄ 
At  that  very  moment�察 �a  thin  beam  of  light  gracefully  filtered  through  the 
broken shutters and fell between Black and me�察�illuminating the ancient dust 
inside the room。 
^This isn¨t the only reason I¨m hiding my father¨s death�察院�I said�察�fixing my 
gaze into Black¨s eyes�察�in which I was gladdened to see attentiveness more than 
love。 ^I¨m also afraid of being unable to prove my whereabouts at the time of 
my father¨s murder。 Though she¨s a slave and her word might be discounted�察�
I¨m  afraid  that  Hayriye  is  involved  in  these  machinations�察 �if  not  against  me�察�
then  against  my  father¨s  book。  And  as  long  as  I  remain  without  a  protector�察�
the  announcement  of  my  father¨s  murder�察 �while  initially  simplifying  matters 
at  home�察 �might  well�察 �solely  for  the  reasons  I¨ve  enumerated�察 �cause  me  great 
misfortune at her hand�察�for instance�察�what if Hayriye is aware that my father 
didn¨t want me to marry you�拭院�
^Your father didn¨t want you to marry me�拭院�asked Black。 
^No�察�he didn¨t�察�he was worried that you¨d take me away from him。 Since 
there¨s no longer any danger of you doing such evil to him�察�let¨s assume my 
dear unfortunate father has no further objection。 Do you have any�拭院�
^None at all�察�my darling。 ̄ 
^Fine�察 �then。  My  guardian  has  no  claims  of  money  or  gold  on  you。  Please 
excuse  the  impropriety  of  my  discussing  marital  circumstances  on  my  own 
209 
 
behalf�察�but I have certain prerequisites that I must�察�unfortunately�察�explain to 
you。 ̄ 
As I fell silent for a while�察�Black said�察 �Yes�察院�in a manner that suggested an 
apology for his hesitation。 
^First�察院�I began�察 �you must swear before two witnesses that if you behave 
badly toward me in our marriage�察�to a degree that I find unbearable�察�or if you 
take  a  second  wife�察 �you  will  grant  me  a  divorce  with  alimony。  Second�察 �you 
must  swear  before  two  witnesses  that  if  for  whatever  reason  you  are  absent 
from the house for more than a six´month period without a visit�察�I will also be 
granted a divorce with alimony。 Third�察�after we are married�察�you will of course 
move into my home�察�however�察�until the villain who has murdered my father 
has been caught or until you find him!how I¨d love to torture him myself� �
and  until  Our  Sultan¨s  book�察 �pleted  under  the  guidance  of  your  talents 
and efforts�察�has been honorably presented to Him�察�you will not share my bed。 
Fourth�察�you will love my sons�察�who do share my bed with me�察�as if they were 
your own children。 ̄ 
^I agree。 ̄ 
^Good。 If all of the obstacles that still lie before us disappear this quickly�察�
we¨ll soon be wed。 ̄ 
^Yes�察�wed�察�but not in the same bed。 ̄ 
^The first step is marriage�察院�I said。 ^Let¨s see to that first。 Love es after 
marriage。  Don¨t  forget�此 �Marriage  douses  love¨s  flame�察 �leaving  nothing  but  a 
barren  and  melancholy  blackness。  Of  course�察 �after  marriage�察 �love  itself  will 
vanish  anyway�察 �but  happiness  fills  the  void。  Still�察 �there  are  those  hasty  fools 
who fall in love before marrying and�察�burning with emotion�察�exhaust all their 
feeling�察�believing love to be the highest goal in life。 ̄ 
^What�察�then�察�is the truth of the matter�拭院�
^The truth is contentment。 Love and marriage are but a means to obtaining 
it�此�a husband�察�a house�察�children�察�a book。 Can¨t you see that even in my state�察�
with a missing husband and a deceased father�察�I¨m better off than you in your 
isolation�拭 �I¨d  die  without  my  sons�察 �with  whom  I  spend  my  days  laughing�察�
tussling  and  loving。  Moreover�察 �since  you  long  for  me  even  in  my  present 
predicament�察�since you secretly ache to spend the night with me!even if not 
in the same bed!under the same roof with my father¨s body and my unruly 
children�察�you¨re pelled to listen with all your heart to what I now have to 
say。 ̄ 
210 
 
^I¨m listening。 ̄ 
^There are various ways that I might secure a divorce。 False witnesses could 
swear that before my husband set out on campaign�察�they witnessed him grant 
me  a  conditional  divorce�察 �for  example�察 �that  he¨d  pledged  that  if  he  didn¨t 
return  within  two  years�察 �I  should  be  considered  free。  Or�察 �more  simply�察 �they 
might  swear  they¨d  seen  my  husband¨s  corpse  in  the  field  of  battle�察 �citing 
various  convincing  and  descriptive  details。  But  taking  my  father¨s  body  and 
the  objections  of  my  in´laws  into  consideration�察 �to  rely  on  false  witnesses 
would  be  an  unsound  way  to  proceed�察 �as  no  judge  of  any  intelligence  or 
caution  would  be  persuaded。  Considering  that  my  husband  left  me  without 
alimony  and  hasn¨t  returned  from  war  for  four  years�察 �even  judges  of  our 
Hanefi  creed  couldn¨t  grant  me  a  divorce。  The  ┨sk┨dar  judge�察 �however�察�
knowing how the number of women in my situation is increasing each day�察�is 
more sympathetic and so!with a nod from Our Excellency the Sultan and the 
Sheikhulislam!the  judge  occasionally  allows  his  proxy  of  the  Shaf┨  creed  to 
rule  in  his  place�察 �thereby  granting  divorces  left  and  right  to  women  like  me�察�
including conditions of alimony。 Now�察�if you can find two witnesses to testify 
openly  to  my  predicament�察 �pay  them  off�察 �cross  the  Bosphorus  with  them  to 
the ┨sk┨dar side�察�arrange for the judge�察�making certain that his proxy will sit 
in for him so the divorce might be granted by virtue of the witnesses�察�register 
the  divorce  in  the  judge¨s  ledger�察 �obtain  a  certificate  testifying  to  the 
proceeding�察 �obtain  written  permission  for  my  immediate  remarriage�察 �and  if 
you can acplish all of this and get back to this side of the Bosphorus by the 
afternoon�察 �then!assuming  no  difficulty  in  finding  a  preacher  who  might 
marry us this evening!then�察�as my husband�察�you could spend this night with 
me and my children。 Thereby�察�you¨ll also spare us a sleepless night of hearing 
in every creaking of the house the steps of that devilish murderer。 Moreover�察�
you¨ll  save  me  from  the  wretchedness  of  being  a  poor  unprotected  woman 
when we announce the death of my father in the morning。 ̄ 
^Yes�察院�said Black with good humor and somewhat childishly。 ^Yes。 I agree to 
make you mine。 ̄ 
You  remember  how  only  recently  I  declared  I  didn¨t  know  why  I  was 
speaking to Black in such a high´handed and insincere manner。 Now I know�此�
I¨ve  e  to  realize  that  only  by  assuming  such  a  tone  might  I  convince 
Black!who has yet to outgrow his childhood muddle´headedness!to believe 
in the possibility of events that even I have a hard time believing will e to 
pass。 
211 
 
^We have a lot to do in fighting our enemies�察�those who would obstruct the 
pletion of my father¨s book and those who could contest my divorce and 
our marriage ceremony!which will be performed tonight�察�God willing。 But I 
suppose  I  shouldn¨t  further  confuse  you�察 �since  you  are  already  even  more 
confused than I。 ̄ 
^You aren¨t confused at all�察院�said Black。 
^Perhaps�察�but only because these aren¨t my own ideas�察�I learned them from 
my  father  over  the  years。 ̄  I  said  this  so  he  wouldn¨t  dismiss  what  I  said�察�
assuming that these plans had sprung from my feminine mind。 
Next�察�
