lodger; with whom I was forced to share a caravansary cell; were going to
recount a heart…warming story。
257
The Head Treasurer diffidently said; “Our Sultan; one year prior; charged me
with having an illuminated manuscript prepared under conditions of the
utmost privacy; a manuscript that would be included among the gifts meant
for an ambassadorial delegation。 In light of the secrecy of the book; His
Excellency did not deem it appropriate that Master Lokman the Royal
Historian be enlisted to write the manuscript。 Similarly; He did not venture to
involve you; ires。 Indeed; He supposed that you
were already fully engaged with the Book of Festivities。”
Upon entering this room I had abruptly assumed that some wretch had
slandered me; claiming that I was mitting heresy in such…and…such an
illustration and that I’d lampooned the Sovereign in another; I imagined with
horror that this tattler had been able to convince the Sovereign of my guilt and
that I was about to be laid out for torture with no consideration for my age。
And so to hear that the Head Treasurer was simply trying to make amends for
Our Sultan’s having missioned a manuscript from an outsider—these
words were sweeter than honey indeed。 Without learning anything new; I

say; that he was murdered; weren’t you?”
“Nay;” I said simply; like a child; and fell quiet。
“Our Sultan is quite furious;” the Head Treasurer said。
That Enishte Effendi was a dunce。 The master miniaturists always mocked
him for being more pretentious than knowledgeable; more ambitious than
intelligent。 I knew something was rotten at the funeral anyway。 How was he
killed; I wondered?
The Head Treasurer explained exactly how。 Appalling。 Dear God protect us。
Yet who could be responsible?
“The Sultan has decreed;” said the Head Treasurer; “that the book in
question should be finished as soon as possible; as with the Book of Festivities
manuscript…”
“He has also made a second decree;” said the mander of the Imperial
Guard。 “If; indeed; this unspeakable murderer is one of the miniaturists; He
