man sitting cross´legged on the judge¨s cushion is the proxy�察�he¨ll realize�察�even 
if he hasn¨t read the story�察�that the honorable judge has temporarily given up 
his office so his proxy might grant Shekure a divorce。 
The  third  illustration  should  show  the  same  scene�察 �but  this  time  the  wall 
ornamentation should be darker and rendered in the Chinese style�察�the curly 
branches  being  more  intricate  and  dense�察 �and  colorful  clouds  should  appear 
above  the  judge¨s  proxy  so  the  chicanery  in  the  story  might  be  apparent。 
Though  the  Imam  Effendi  and  his  brother  have  actually  testified  separately 
before the judge¨s proxy�察�in the illustration they are shown together explaining 
how  the  husband  of  anguished  Shekure  hasn¨t  returned  from  war  for  four 
years�察�how she is in a state of destitution without a husband to look after her�察�
how her two fatherless children are perpetually in tears and hungry�察�how there 
is no prospect for remarriage because she¨s still considered married�察�and how 
in  this  state  she  can¨t  even  receive  a  loan  without  permission  from  her 
husband。 They¨re so convincing that even a man as deaf as a stone would grant 
her a divorce through a cascade of tears。 The heartless proxy�察�however�察�having 
none of it�察�asks about Shekure¨s legal guardian。 After a moment of hesitation�察�I 
215 
 
immediately interrupt�察�declaring that her esteemed father�察�who has served as 
herald and ambassador for Our Sultan�察�is still alive。 
^Until he testifies in court�察�I¨ll never grant her a divorce� 院�said the proxy。 
Thereupon�察 �thoroughly  flustered�察 �I  explained  how  my  Enishte  Effendi  was 
ill�察�bed´ridden and struggling for his life�察�how his last wish to God was to see 
his daughter divorced�察�and how I was his representative。 
^What  does  she  want  with  a  divorce�拭院 �asked  the  proxy。  ^Why  would  a 
dying  man  want  to  see  his  daughter  divorced  from  her  husband  who¨s  long 
vanished  at  war  anyway�拭 �Listen�察 �I¨d  understand  if  there  were  a  good�察�
trustworthy  candidate  for  son´in´law�察 �because  then  he  wouldn¨t  pass  away 
with his wish unfulfilled。 ̄ 
^There is a prospect�察�sir�察院�I said。 
^Who might that be�拭院�
^It is I� 院�
^e now� �You¨re the guardian¨s representative� 院�said the judge¨s proxy。 
^What line of work are you in�拭院�
^In the eastern provinces�察�I served as secretary�察�chief secretary and assistant 
treasurer  to  various  pashas。  I  pleted  a  history  of  the  Persian  wars  that  I 
intend  to  present  to  Our  Sultan。  I¨m  a  connoisseur  of  illustrating  and 
decoration。 I¨ve been burning with love for this woman for twenty years。 ̄ 
^Are you a relative of hers�拭院�
I  was  so  embarrassed  at  having  fallen  so  abruptly  and  unexpectedly  into 
groveling meekness before the judge¨s proxy�察�at having bared my life like some 
dull object devoid of any mystery�察�that I fell pletely silent。 
^Instead of turning beet red�察�give me an answer�察�young man�察�lest I refuse to 
grant her a divorce。 ̄ 
^She¨s the daughter of my maternal aunt。 ̄ 
^Hmmm�察�I see。 Will you be able to make her happy�拭院�
When  he  asked  the  question  he  made  a  vulgar  hand  gesture。  The 
miniaturist should omit this indelicacy。 It¨d be enough for him to show how 
much I blushed。 
^I make a decent living。 ̄ 
^As I belong to the Shaf┨ sect�察�there is nothing contrary to the Holy Book or 
my  creed  in  my  granting  the  divorce  of  this  unfortunate  Shekure�察 �whose 
216 
 
husband has been missing at the front for four years�察院�said the Proxy Effendi。 
^I  grant  the  divorce。  And  I  rule  that  her  husband  no  longer  has  any 
superceding rights should he return。 ̄ 
The  subsequent  illustration�察 �that  is�察 �the  fourth�察 �ought  to  depict  the  proxy 
recording  the  divorce  in  the  ledger�察 �unleashing  obedient  armies  of  black´ink 
letters�察�before presenting me with the document declaring that my Shekure is 
now a widow and there is no obstacle to her immediate remarriage。 Neither 
by painting the walls of the courtroom red�察�nor by situating the picture within 
bloodred  borders  could  the  blissful  inner  radiance  I  felt  at  that  moment  be 
expressed。 Running back through the crowd of false witnesses and other men 
gathering before the judge¨s door seeking divorces for their sisters�察�daughters 
or even aunts�察�I set out on my return journey。 
After   I   crossed   the   Bosphorus   and   headed   directly   to   the   Yakutlar 
neighborhood�察�I dismissed both the considerate Imam Effendi�察�who wanted to 
perform the marriage ceremony�察�and his brother。 Since I suspected everyone I 
saw on the street of hatching some mischief out of jealousy over the incredible 
happiness  I  was  on  the  verge  of  attaining�察 �I  ran  straight  to  Shekure¨s  street。 
How had the ominous crows divined the presence of a body in the house and 
taken to hopping around excitedly on the terra´cotta shingles�拭�I was overe 
by  guilt  because  I  hadn¨t  been  able  to  grieve  for  my  Enishte  or  even  shed  a 
single  tear�察 �even  so�察 �I  knew  from  the  tightly  closed  shutters  and  door  of  the 
house�察�from the silence�察�and even from the look of the pomegranate tree that 
everything was proceeding as planned。 
I  was  acting  intuitively  in  a  great  haste。  I  tossed  a  stone  at  the  courtyard 
gate  but  missed�  �I  tossed  another  at  the  house。  It  landed  on  the  roof。 
Frustrated�察 �I  began  pelting  the  house  with  stones。  A  window  opened。  It  was 
the  second´story  window  where  four  days  ago�察 �on  Wednesday�察 �I¨d  first  seen 
Shekure through the branches of the pomegranate tree。 Orhan appeared�察�and 
from the gap in the shutters I could hear Shekure scolding him。 Then I saw her。 
For a moment�察�we gazed hopefully at each other�察�my fair lady and I。 She was so 
beautiful and being。 She made a gesture that I took to mean ^wait ̄ and 
shut the window。 
There  was  still  plenty  of  time  before  evening。  I  waited  hopefully  in  the 
empty garden�察�awestruck by the beauty of the world�察�the trees and the muddy 
street。 Before long�察�Hayriye came in�察�dressed and covered not like a servant�察�but 
rather�察 �like  a  lady  of  the  house。  Without  nearing  each  other�察 �we  removed 
ourselves to the cover of the fig trees。 
217 
 
^Everything  is  progressing  as  planned�察院 �I  said  to  her。  I  showed  her  the 
document  I¨d  obtained  from  the  proxy。  ^Shekure  is  divorced。  As  for  the 
preacher from another neighborhood´ ̄ I was going to add�察 �I¨ll see to that�察院�
but instead blurted out�察 �He¨s on his way。 Shekure should be ready。 ̄ 
^No matter how small�察�Shekure wants a bride¨s procession�察�followed by a 
neighborhood reception with a wedding repast。 We¨ve prepared a stewpot of 
pilaf with almonds and dried apricots。 ̄ 
In  her  excitement�察 �she  seemed  prepared  to  tell  me  everything  else  she¨d 
cooked  but  I  cut  her  off。  ^If  the  wedding  is  going  to  be  such  an  elaborate 
affair�察院�I cautioned�察 �Hasan and his men will hear of it�察�they¨ll raid the house�察�
disgrace us�察�have the marriage nullified and we¨ll be able to do nothing about 
it。 All our efforts will have been in vain。 We need to protect ourselves not only 
from Hasan and his father�察�but from the devil who murdered Enishte Effendi 
as well。 Aren¨t you afraid�拭院�
^How could we not be�拭院�she said and began to cry。 
^You¨re   not   to   tell   anyone   a   thing�察院  �I   said。   ^Dress   Enishte   in   his 
nightclothes�察�spread out his mattress and lay him upon it�察�not as a dead man�察�
but as though he were sick。 Arrange glasses and bottles of syrup by his head�察�
and draw the shutters closed。 Make certain there are no lamps in his room so 
that  he  can  act  as  Shekure¨s  guardian�察 �her  sick  father�察 �during  the  ceremony。 
There¨s  no  place  now  for  a  bride¨s  procession。  You  can  invite  a  handful  of 
neighbors  at  the  last  minute�察 �that¨s  all。  While  you¨re  inviting  them�察 �say  that 
this  was  Enishte  Effendi¨s  last  wish´It  won¨t  be  a  joyous
