if she wanted to continue to be the Esther who found husbands for so many

dreamy maidens and knocked on the doors of so many unhappy homes。

“What I’ve heard;” I said; “is that the brother of Shekure’s former husband;

Hasan;  visited  your  house”—it  heartened  him  when  I  said  “your  house”—

“and  told  Shevket  that  his  father  was  on  his  way  home  from  war;  that  he

would  arrive  around  midafternoon;  and  that  if  he  didn’t  find  Shevket’s

mother  and  brother  in  their  rightful  home;  he’d  be  very  upset。  Shevket  told

this  to  his  mother;  who  acted  cautiously;  but  couldn’t  e  to  a  decision。

Toward midafternoon; Shevket left the house to be with his Uncle Hasan and

his grandfather。”

“Where did you learn these things?”

“Hasn’t Shekure told you about Hasan’s schemes over the last two years to

get her back to his house? There was a time when Hasan sent letters to Shekure

through me。”

“Did she ever respond to them?”

“I know all the varieties of women in Istanbul;” I said proudly; “there’s no

one who’s as bound to her house; her husband and her honor as Shekure is。”

“But I am her husband now。”

His  voice  bore  that  typically  male  uncertainty  that  always  depressed  me。

Amazingly; to whichever side Shekure fled; the other side went to pieces。

“Hasan wrote a note and gave it to me to deliver to Shekure。 It described

how Shevket had e home to await the return of his father; how Shekure

had been married in an illegitimate ceremony; how Shevket was very unhappy

on account of the false husband who was supposed to be his new father and

how he was never going back。”

“How did Shekure respond?”

“She waited for you all through the night with poor Orhan。”

“What about Hayriye?”

“Hayriye’s  been  waiting  for  years  for  the  opportunity  to  drown  your

beautiful  wife  in  a  spoonful  of  water。  This  was  why  she  began  sleeping  with

your  Enishte;  may  he  rest  in  peace。  When  Hasan  saw  that  Shekure  was

spending  the  night  alone  in  fear  of  murderers  and  ghosts;  he  sent  along

another note through me。”

“What did he write?”
