She kept her face covered, and rarely revealed her wild, yearning eyes. The silken shawl bore the scent of strange, aromatic perfumes, its rainbow-hued patterns aroused the envy of the Cossack wom en. The captive Turkish woman kept aloof from Prokofyfs relations, and before long old Melekhov gave his son his portion.
