He examined the piece carefully. "Where did you get it?" he asked, in Turkish. "From the Validé Khan," answered the Jew, in the same language. "It is a genuine piece, a hundred years old at least." "You probably ask a pound for every year, and a backsheesh for the odd months," said the other. "Twenty pounds," answered Marchetto, imperturbably.
As a child, and as a lad, he was grievously tempted by his father's example, and by the influence of an idolatrous court, which was crowded by flatterers and panderers. The leading spirit of the court-circle was Maachah, "the King's mother," as she is called the Sultana Valide. She was a woman of strong character, and held a high official position.
Hope-Scott was left alone in Abbotsford, with his only surviving child, a very fragile and delicate flower too, such as to make a father tremble while he kissed it. Sancta Mater, istud agas, Crucifixi fige plagas, Cordi meo valide. My babes, why were you born, Since in life's early morn Death overtook you, and, before I could half love you, you were mine no more?
Mahmoud had had thirty-five children, but only five were left, two sons and three daughters. The rest had died in infancy. The actual Sultan, Abdul-Medjid, who was very young at the time of my visit, had only one wife with child, but his mother, the Sultana Valide, had just presented him with six young ladies, said to be charming, as an encouragement.

Her dress, devoid of coquetry, was often in bad taste. She usually sat passive, buried in a low sofa, like a Sultana Valide, awaiting or admiring her Ginevra, her pride, her life. The beauty, toilet, and grace of her daughter seemed to have become her own. All was well with her if Ginevra was happy.
The other noted mosques of Constantinople are the Yeni Djami, or Mosque of the Sultana Valide, on the shore of the Golden Horn, at the end of the bridge to Galata; that of Sultan Bajazet; of Mahomet II., the Conqueror, and of his son, Suleyman the Magnificent, whose superb mosque well deserves this title.

The Sultana Validé, or Dowager, used only to send special messages to the Sultan's favourite wives when they lay in child-bed; this, therefore, was a great distinction for the wife of Halil Patrona or a great humiliation for the Sultana. And a great humiliation it certainly was for the latter. It was by the command of Sultan Mahmud that the Sultana had sent the sherbet.
