persisted too long。 Instead of searching for a second witness required for a
legal separation at the door of the üsküdar judge; the Imam Effendi suggested
his brother。 Now; if I were to offer an additional gold piece to the brother; who
lived in the neighborhood and was familiar with the predicament of Shekure
and her darling children; I’d be doing a good pious turn。 After all; for only two
gold coins the Imam Effendi was giving me a deal on the second witness。 We
immediately agreed。 The Imam Effendi went to fetch his brother。
The rest of our day rather resembled the “cat…and…mouse” stories that I’d
watched storytellers in Aleppo coffeehouses act out。 Because of all the
adventure and trickery; such stories written up as narrative poems and bound
were never taken seriously even if presented in fine calligraphy; that is; they
were never illustrated。 I; on the other hand; was quite pleased to divide our
daylong adventure into four scenes; imagining each in the illustrated pages of
my mind。
In the first scene; the miniaturist ought to depict us amid mustachioed and
muscled oarsmen; forging our way across the blue Bosphorus toward üsküdar
in the four…oared red longboat we’d boarded in Unkapan?。 The preacher and
his skinny dark…plexioned brother; pleased with the surprise voyage; are
engaging the oarsmen in friendly chatter。 Meanwhile; amid blithe dreams of

marriage that play ceaselessly before my eyes; I stare deep into the waters of
the Bosphorus; flowing clearer than usual on this sunny winter morning; on
guard for an ominous sign within its currents。 I’m afraid; for example; that I
might see the wreck of a pirate ship below。 Thus; no matter how joyously the
miniaturist colors the sea and clouds; he ought to include something
equivalent to the darkness of my fears and as intense as my dreams of
happiness—a terrifying…looking fish; for example—in the depths of the water
so the reader of my adventure won’t assume all is rosy。
Our second picture ought to show the palaces of sultans; the meetings of
the Divan Council of State; the reception of European ambassadors; and
detailed and carefully posed crowded interiors of a subtlety worthy of
Bihzad; that is; the picture ought to partake of playful tricks and irony。
Thereby; while the Kadi Effendi apparently makes an open…handed “halt”
gesture indicating “never” or “no” to my bribe; with his other hand he ought
to be shown obligingly pocketing my Veian gold coins; and the ultimate
result of this bribe should be depicted in the same picture: Shahap Effendi; the
Shafü proxy presiding in place of the üsküdar judge。 The simultaneous
depiction of sequential events could only be achieved through an intelligent
miniaturist’s cunning facility in page position。 Thus; when the observer;
