to  me  of  its  own  accord。  Tomorrow;  before  noon;  I’ll  know  whom  I  am  to

marry。

I want to share something with you before I arrive home。 No! e off it;

now; it’s not about the size of that monstrosity Black showed me。 If you want

we can talk about that later。 What I was going to discuss was Black’s haste。 It’s

not that he seems to think only of satisfying his lust。 To be honest; it’d make

no difference if he did。 What surprises me is his stupidity! I suppose it never

crossed his mind that he could frighten and abduct me; play with my honor

and put me off; or open the door to even more dangerous outes。 I can tell

from  his  innocent  expression  how  much  he  loves  and  desires  me。  But  after

waiting twelve years; why can’t he play the game according to the rules and

wait another twelve days?

Do  you  know  I  have  the  sinking  feeling  I’ve  fallen  in  love  with  his

inpetence  and  his  melancholy  childlike  glances?  At  a  time  when  it

would’ve been more appropriate to be irate with him; instead; I pitied him。

“Oh; my poor child;” a voice inside me said; “you suffer such torment and are

still  so  utterly  inpetent。”  I  felt  so  protective  of  him  that  I  might’ve  even

made a mistake; I might’ve actually given myself to that spoiled little boy。

Thinking  of  my  unfortunate  children;  I  quickened  my  steps。  Just  then;  in

the early darkness and blinding snow; I thought a phantom of a man would

run right over me。 Ducking my head; I slipped by him。

Upon  entering  through  the  courtyard  gate;  I  knew  that  Hayriye  and  the

children  hadn’t  yet  returned。  Very  well  then;  I’d  e  back  in  time;  the

evening prayers hadn’t yet been called。 I climbed the stairs; the house smelled

of orange jam。 My father was in his darkened room with the blue door; my

feet were freezing。 I entered my room to the right beside the stairs holding a

lamp; and when I saw that the cabi had been opened; that the cushions had

fallen  out  and  the  room  had  been  ransacked;  I  assumed  it  was  the  naughty

work of Shevket and Orhan。 There was a silence in the house; not unusual; yet

unlike  the  usual  silence。  I  donned  my  house  clothes  and  sat  alone  in  the

darkness;  and  as  I  gave  myself  over  to  momentary  daydreaming;  my  mind

registered a noise ing from below; directly below me; not from the kitchen

but  from  the  large  room  next  to  the  stable;  used  in  summertime  as  the

illustrating workshop。 Had my father gone down there; in this cold? I didn’t

remember seeing the light of an oil lamp there; suddenly; I heard the squeak of

the front door between the stone walkway and the courtyard; and afterward;
