men。 They’re prepared to fight Hasan。”

“Hasan isn’t here;” said the polite father…in…law。

“How fortunate。 Take a look at this;” I said; giving him Black’s note like a

proud ambassador of the Sultan executing His merciless will。

As the gentlemanly father…in…law read the note; Shekure said; “Esther; e

and let me pour you a bowl of lentil soup to warm you up。”

372

“I don’t like lentil soup;” I said at first。 I didn’t like the way she spoke as if

she were mistress of the house。 But when I understood that she wanted to be

alone with me; I grabbed the spoon and rushed after her。

“Tell  Black  that  it’s  all  because  of  Shevket;”  she  whispered。  “Last  night  I

waited  all  night  alone  with  Orhan  deathly  afraid  of  the  murderer。  Orhan

trembled  with  fright  until  morning。  My  children  had  been  separated!  What

kind of mother could remain apart from her child? When Black failed to e

back;  they  told  me  that  Our  Sultan’s  torturers  had  made  him  talk  and  that

“Do  you  think  I  know  why  I’ve  returned?”  she  said。  She  seemed  on  the

verge of tears。 “Black was rough with my poor Shevket;” she said。 “And when

Hasan said that the children’s real father had returned; I believed him。”

But I could tell from her eyes that she was lying; and she knew I could tell。

“I was duped by Hasan!” she whispered; and I sensed that she wanted me to

infer  from  this  that  she  loved  Hasan。  But  did  Shekure  realize  that  she  was

thinking more and more about Hasan because she had married Black?

The door opened and Hayriye entered carrying freshly baked bread whose

aroma  was  irresistible。  When  she  caught  sight  of  me;  I  could  tell  from  her

expression  of  displeasure  that  after  the  death  of  Enishte  Effendi;  the  poor

thing—she couldn’t be sold; couldn’t be dismissed—had bee a legacy of

misery for Shekure。 The scent of fresh bread filled the room; and I understood

the truth of the matter as Shekure faced the children: Whether it be their real
