down  Archer’s  Street  which  smelled  dizzyingly  of  linden  blossoms  in  the

spring;  past  the  bakery  where  my  master would buy round meat pasties; up

the  hill  lined  with  beggars  and  quince  and  chestnut  trees;  past  the  closed

shutters  of  the  new  market  and  the  barber  whom  my  master  greeted  each

morning; alongside the empty field where acrobats would set up their tents in

summer  and  perform;  in  front  of  the  foul…smelling  rooming  houses  for

bachelors;  beneath  moldy…smelling  Byzantine  arches;  before  Ibrahim  Pasha’s

palace  and  the  column  made  up  of  three  coiling  snakes;  which  I’d  drawn

hundreds of times; past the plane tree; which we depicted a different way each

time;  emerging  into  the  Hippodrome  and  under  the  chestnut  and  mulberry

trees  wherein  sparrows  and  magpies  alighted  and  chirped  madly  in  the

Shevket;  and  Shekure  had  conspired  to  steal  it  from  his  house。  This  was

apparently proof enough that I was one of Black’s men who raided his house

at  night  to  abduct  Shekure。  This  arrogant;  shrill…voiced;  irate  man  also  knew

Black’s  artist  friends  and  that  they  would  return  to  the  workshop。  He

brandished  a  long  sword  that  shimmered  brightly  with  a  strange  red  and

indicated  that  he  had  a  number  of  accounts  that;  for  whatever  reason;  he

meant  to  settle  with  me。  I  considered  telling  him  that  there  was  some

misunderstanding; but I saw the incredible anger on his face。 I could read in
