第32部分(第5页)

I  could  read  from  her  face  that  she  was  making  plans  to  set  up  her  own

wiry  daughter;  or  who  knows  whose  daughter;  with  lionhearted  Black。  “No

one’s;”  I  said。  “A  poor  relative  of  his  who’s  on  his  deathbed  in  the

Bayrampasha sickhouse and needs money。”

“Oh my;” she said; unconvinced; “who is the unfortunate man?”

“How did your son die in the war?” I asked stubbornly。

We  began  to  glare  at  each  other  with  hostility。  She  was  a  widow  and  all

alone。  Her  life  must’ve  been  quite  difficult。  If  you  ever  happen  to  bee  a

clothier…cum…messenger like Esther; you’ll soon learn that only wealth; might

and  legendary  romances  stir  people’s  curiosity。  Everything  else  is  but  worry;

separation; jealousy; loneliness; enmity; tears; gossip and never…ending poverty。

Such things never change; just like the objects that furnish a home: a faded old

kilim;  a  ladle  and  small  copper  pan  resting  on  an  empty  baking  sheet;  tongs

and  an  ash  box  resting  beside  the  stove;  two  worn  chests—one  small;  one

146

large—a turban stand maintained to conceal the widow’s solitary life and an

old sword to scare thieves off。

Black  hastily  returned  with  his  money  purse。  “Clothier  woman;”  he  said;

making himself heard to the meddling landlady rather than myself。 “Take this

and  bring  it  to  our  suffering  patient。  If  he  has  any  response  for  me;  I’ll  be

waiting。 You can find me at Master Enishte’s house; where I’ll spend the rest

of the day。”

There’s no need for all of these games。 No cause for a young brave…heart like

Black to hide his amatory maneuvers; the signals he receives; the handkerchiefs

and letters he sends in pursuit of a maiden。 Or does he truly have his eye on

his landlady’s daughter? At times; I didn’t trust Black at all and was afraid that

he was deceiving Shekure terribly。 How is it that; despite spending his entire

day with Shekure in the same house; he’s incapable of giving her a sign?

Once I was outside; I opened the purse。 It contained twelve silver coins and

a letter。 I was so curious about the letter that I nearly ran to Hasan。 Vegetable…

sellers had spread out cabbage; carrots and the rest in front of their shops。 But

I didn?
