The curious incident…
One summer evening in 1570, under Roxy Sultana of the Sultanate of Women, consulting epicurist Erlok Olmis and his eunuch Watsis relax in little grey cells beneath Constantinople’s Street of the Bakers.
“Bas bleu, Watsis!” exclaims Olmis, “The curious incident of the dog in the sack!”
In the nearby Coffeehouse of The Henna Headed Horde an Iranian Adlerphone plays Fairuz's jaunty “Shat Iskandaria”.
“?” from Watsis, impotently.
“Elementary” gurgles Olmis from his hubble-bubble. “Read my monograph Sack Fall Under Suleiman Diminuendo. In executing our peerless Ottoman jurisprudence we place a living dog in a sack with the ‘perp’, and cast them deep into the dark Bosphorus. Yet on this occasion…”
“…Olmis!” interrupts Watsis, “The dog did nothing in the sack! Lose we something in migration?”
