“None at all; my darling。”

“Fine;  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; but I have certain prerequisites that I must; unfortunately; explain to

you。”

As I fell silent for a while; Black said; “Yes;” in a manner that suggested an

apology for his hesitation。

“First;” I began; “you must swear before two witnesses that if you behave

badly toward me in our marriage; to a degree that I find unbearable; or if you

take  a  second  wife;  you  will  grant  me  a  divorce  with  alimony。  Second;  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; I will also be

granted a divorce with alimony。 Third; after we are married; you will of course

move into my home; however; 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;  pleted  under  the  guidance  of  your  talents

and efforts; has been honorably presented to Him; you will not share my bed。

Fourth; you will love my sons; who do share my bed with me; as if they were

your own children。”

“I agree。”

“Good。 If all of the obstacles that still lie before us disappear this quickly;

we’ll soon be wed。”

“Yes; wed; but not in the same bed。”

“The first step is marriage;” I said。 “Let’s see to that first。 Love es after

marriage。  Don’t  forget:  Marriage  douses  love’s  flame;  leaving  nothing  but  a

barren  and  melancholy  blackness。  Of  course;  after  marriage;  love  itself  will

vanish  anyway;  but  happiness  fills  the  void。  Still;  there  are  those  hasty  fools

who fall in love before marrying and; burning with emotion; exhaust all their

feeling; believing love to be the highest goal in life。”

“What; then; is the truth of the matter?”

“The truth is contentment。 Love and marriage are but a means to obtaining

it: a husband; a house; children; a book。 Can’t you see that even in my state;

with a missing husband and a deceased father; I’m better off than you in your

isolation?  I’d  die  without  my  sons;  with  whom  I  spend  my  days  laughing;

tussling  and  loving。  Moreover;  since  you  long  for  me  even  in  my  present

predicament; 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; you’re pelled to listen with all your heart to what I now have to

say。”
