him in; that poor master gilder of mine。”

I AM ORHAN

Black asked: “Have they indeed killed him?”

This  Black  was  tall;  skinny  and  a  little  frightening。  I  was  walking  toward

them where they sat talking in the second…floor workshop with the blue door

when  my  grandfather  said;  “They  might  have  done  him  in。”  Then  he  caught

sight of me。 “What are you doing here?”

He  looked  at  me  in  such  a  way  that  I  climbed  onto  his  lap  without

answering。 Then he put me back down right away。

“Kiss Black’s hand;” he said。

I kissed the back of his hand and touched it to my forehead。 It had no smell。

“He’s  quite  charming;”  Black  said  and  kissed  me  on  my  cheek。  “One  day

he’ll be a brave young man。”

“This  is  Orhan;  he’s  six。  There’s  also  an  older  one;  Shevket;  who’s  seven。

That one’s quite a stubborn little child。”

“I  went  back  to  the  old  street  in  Aksaray;”  said  Black。  “It  was  cold;

everything was covered in snow and ice。 But it was as if nothing had changed

at all。”

“Alas!   Everything   has   changed;   everything   has   bee   worse;”   my

grandfather  said。  “Significantly  worse。”  He  turned  to  me。  “Where’s  your

brother?”

“He’s with our mentor; the master binder。”

“So; what are you doing here?”

“The master said; ”Fine work; you can go now‘ to me。“

“You made your way back here alone?” asked my grandfather。 “Your older

brother  ought  to  have  acpanied  you。”  Then  he  said  to  Black:  “There’s  a

binder  friend  of  mine  with  whom  they  work  twice  a  week  after  their  Koran

school。 They serve as his apprentices; learning the art of binding。”

“Do you like to make illustrations like your grandfather?” asked Black。

I gave him no answer。

“All right then;” said my grandfather。 “Leave us be; now。”

The heat from the open brazier that warmed the room was so nice that I

didn’t want to leave。 Smelling the paint and glue; I stood still for a moment。 I

could also smell coffee。
