me; under what arrangement and conditions will you see to our safety? This is

what we have to resolve。”

He  made  an  overture  to  speak;  but  I  easily  silenced  him  with  a  look—as

though this were something I’d done countless times before。

“In the eyes of the judge; it is my husband and his family who succeed my

father as my guardians。 This was the case even before his death; for according

to the judge my husband is still alive。 It was only because Hasan tried to take

advantage  of  me  during  his  older  brother’s  absence;  a  failed  assault  that

embarrassed  my  father…in…law;  that  I  was  allowed  to  return  to  my  father’s

home though not officially a widow。 But now that my father is dead and I am

without even a brother; there is no question that my only possible guardians

are  my  husband’s  brother  and  my  father…in…law。  They’ve  already  been

scheming  to  have  me  returned  to  their  home;  coercing  my  father;  and

then  against  my  father’s  book。  And  as  long  as  I  remain  without  a  protector;

the  announcement  of  my  father’s  murder;  while  initially  simplifying  matters

at  home;  might  well;  solely  for  the  reasons  I’ve  enumerated;  cause  me  great

misfortune at her hand; for instance; what if Hayriye is aware that my father

didn’t want me to marry you?”

“Your father didn’t want you to marry me?” asked Black。

“No; he didn’t; he was worried that you’d take me away from him。 Since
