Subject: Chapters - 37 - 39


Sultan Mehmet II


Chap 37

Nicholas confides in Godscalc that Doria had weapons on board his ship and that they are unaccounted for. Nicholas had figured that Doria was waiting for the right moment to reveal them, but no such action has been taken.

Tobie is unable to care for the ill and infirm as his master has been taken with swamp fever again.

Sarah Khatun is travelling with the Vizier and the Sultans men. They come within 3 miles of Trebizond to begin negotiating. Sarah requests someone to care for her ill camel. A mute doctor and his interpreter arrive. They are really Nicholas and Tobie.

A muted Tobie is asked to care for the Vizier and hears a lot about the strategies being employed.

Sarah warns that she will have to do whatever she is asked even if they do not approve.

Chap 38

The sultan arrives to their camp.

Nicholas and Tobie are sent for. The sultan gives Tobie a gift for his medical help.

While watching the sultan eat, Nicholas and Tobie witness Doria basically giving his allegiance to the sultan and offer his hidden cache of armor and weapons.

Nicholas and Tobie believe they have stayed hidden from Doria, but he arrives at their tent. He has them tied up. He rattles on about all that has transacted between him and Nicholas and says that the authorities have been sent for.

The authorities arrive and in an odd turn, they are there to arrest Doria. The cache was not there and many men lost. In an even stranger turn, Doria is stabbed in the neck by the page that had helped him find Nicholas and Tobie.

Doria dies with Nicholas by his side.


Chap 39

Nicholas, Tobie and the people they are able to bring with them from the Venetian people on board the Doria return to Kerasous.

Nicholas delivers the news to Catherine that Doria is dead. She accuses him of killing Doria. He has Godscalc tell her what happened.

They utilize the Turkish clothes again to deceive the enemy as they travel out of the black sea. At one point they are boarded but they convince the men they are Turks.


Q1. Julius notes the barrier that John, Tobie and Godscalc hold around Nicholas. He seems to feel on the outside. Why is Julius being held at arm’s length?

Q2. Are you surprised that Catherine cuts her own dog’s throat? Does this say something about her maturity or strength?

Q3. Do you wonder Pagano Doria's last thoughts as he stares into Nicholas eyes during his last breaths?
