“My dearest Shekure; I cannot open the door either;” I said。 “You know as

well  as  I  that  this  would  mean  I’ve  meddled  in  your  affairs。  They’d  bitterly

avenge such meddling。”

I could see from her eyes that she understood。 “Then no one will open the

door;” she said。 “Let’s wait for them to break it down and take us by force。”

I  knew  at  once  this  would  be  the  best  alternative  for  Shekure  and  her

children; and I was afraid。 “But that means blood will be spilled;” I said。 “If the

judge isn’t involved in this affair; blood will flow; and a blood feud will last for

years。 No honorable man could stand by and watch as his house was broken

into and raided to abduct a woman residing there。”

I  once  again  understood  regretfully  how  deceptive  and  calculating  this

Shekure  was  as  she  embraced  her  two  boys  and  wailed  with  all  her  being

rather than answer。 A voice was telling me to forget everything and leave; but I

could no longer walk back through the door; which was being battered to the

breaking point。 Actually; I was afraid of both what would happen if they broke

down  the  door  and  came  through  and  what  would  happen  if  they  didn’t;  I

kept thinking that Black’s men; who trusted in me; were worried about going

too far and might retreat at any moment; which would; in turn; embolden the

father…in…law。 When he went to Shekure’s side; I knew he’d begun to cry fake

tears; but what’s worse; he was trembling in a way that couldn’t be feigned。

Stepping  toward  the  door;  I  screamed  with  all  my  strength;  “Stop;  that’s

enough!”

The motion outside and the wailing inside ended in a heartbeat。

“Mother; have Orhan open the door;” I said in a moment of inspiration and

in a sweet voice; as if I were speaking to the boy。 “He wants to go home; no

one will take issue with that。”

The  words  had  hardly  left  my  mouth  when  Orhan  freed  himself  from  his

mother’s loosening arms; and like somebody who’d lived here for years; slid

open  the  bolt;  lifted  the  wooden  bar;  then  unfastened  the  latch;  and  moved

backward two steps。 The cold from outside entered as the door yawned open。

There was such a silence that all of us heard a lazy dog bark off in the distance。

Shekure  kissed  Orhan;  who  was  back  in  his  mother’s  lap;  and  Shevket  said;

“I’m going to tell Uncle Hasan。”

I saw Shekure stand; take up her cloak and prepare her bundle to leave; and

I  was  so  greatly  relieved;  I  was  afraid I  might  laugh。  I  seated  myself  and  had

two more spoonfuls of the lentil soup。

Black  was  intelligent  enough  not  to  e  anywhere  near  the  door  of  the
