I thought their dress particularly awkward and inconvenient. The sleeves of their shirts were so wide that they stuck out half a yard from the arms; the sleeves of the kaftan were still larger.

The king felt rather curious as to what sort of garment his son would make, and the queen, too, was very anxious as to the result of her experiment.

They wore wide trousers, a long kaftan, and a shorter one over that; on the head a kind of bee-hive, called schaube, made of the bark of trees, painted red and ornamented with tinsel, coral, and small coins. From the breast to the girdle their clothes were also covered with similar things, over the shoulders hung a cord with an amulet in the nose, they wore small rings.

S`lam acted as butler, Tahara kept our rooms in order, and they were joint cooks.
Our moujik Dimian covered the table with the very best he had and rejoiced over the good time he foresaw. The fellow guest speedily ate everything up. Dimian was rather amazed, but brought out his kaftan. "Take off thy sheepskin," said he to the guest; "put on my new kaftan."
