In Chapter 15, the narrator watches Sultan Abdul-Medjid return from Friday prayers and attends a Ramadan dinner with a former pasha of Kurdistan through a new acquaintance. These encounters bring him from imperial ceremony into domestic hospitality, where religious observance, dining customs, and informed discussion of European politics shape his experience.
