everything。 That’s where he crushed my father’s face and skull; that’s where he

killed  him。  I  brought  him  down  here  so  the  children  wouldn’t  see  and  so  I

might  have  a  chance  to  caution  you。  After  you  three  left;  I  also  went  out。

Father was home by himself。”

“I was not aware of that;” she said insolently。 “Where were you?”

I  wanted  her  to  take  careful  note  of  my  silence。  Then  I  said;  “I  was  with

Black。 I met with Black in the house of the Hanged Jew。 But you won’t breathe

a word of this to anyone。 Nor; for the time being; will you mention that my

father has been killed。”

“Who was it that murdered him?”

Was she truly such an idiot or was she trying to corner me?

“If I knew; I wouldn’t hide the fact that he was dead;” I said。 “I don’t know。

Do you?”

“How should I know anything?” she said。 “What are we going to do now?”

“You’re going to behave as if nothing whatsoever has happened;” I said。 I

children。  You  know  that  leaving  my  father  alone  in  the  house  was  an

unforeseen coincidence…But did Hayriye know? Did she prehend what I’d

and grow suspicious。 I hugged her even tighter; but I knew that with her slave

girl’s  mind  she’d  assume  I  was  doing  this  to  cover  up  my  wiles;  and  before

here; I was with Black engaged in an act of lovemaking。 If it were only Hayriye

who  knew  this;  I  wouldn’t  feel  as  guilty;  but  I  suspect  that  you  might  make

something of it as well。 So; admit it; you believe that I’m hiding something。

Alas; poor woman! Could my fate be any darker? I began to cry; then Hayriye
