Iakov understood her relations towards his father perfectly well and that prevented him from expressing himself freely. He was not surprised. It would have been difficult for a man like his father to have been long without a companion. "The soup is ready," announced Vassili, at the threshold of the cabin. "Get the spoons, Malva."
"If you annoy her, I'll beat you to a jelly. And if you as much as touch her with a finger, I'll kill you like a fly. I am a simple man." His face, all his person, his knotty and muscular arms proved eloquently that killing a man would be a very simple thing for him. Iakov recoiled a step and said, in a choking voice: "Wait! That is for Malva to " "Keep quiet, that's all.
Vassili would have liked to look at Malva, but his son's rollicking eyes were upon him and he did not dare. The pride he felt at having a son so strong and handsome struggled in him with the embarrassment caused by the presence of Malva. He shuffled about and kept asking Iakov one question after another, often without waiting for a reply.
Then intimidated by the silence, he said aloud: "I forgot my bag in the boat. I'll go and get it." Iakov rose leisurely and went out. Vassili appeared a moment later. He bent down towards Malva and said rapidly with anger: "What did you want to bring him for? What shall I tell him about you?" "What's that to me? Am I afraid of him? Or of you?" she asked, closing her green eyes with disdain.
Can you bear it?" "Never!" replied she; "neither shall Le Gardeur!" With a plunge of her horse she forced her way close to Le Gardeur, and, leaning over him, laid her hand upon his shoulder and exclaimed in a voice choking with passion, "Comment, Le Gardeur! vous souffrez qu'un Malva comme ca vous abime de coups, et vous portez l'epee!"
Our guest will soon he awake." Malva rose with the indolent gesture of a languorous cat, and with a gesture of regret he started towards the cabin. Through her half-open lids the young woman watched him as he moved away, and sighed as people sigh when they have borne too heavy a burden.
Serejka regarded his rents with a reproachful air and shook his head. "Give me one of your skirts, that'll be better." "Yes, I can," said Malva, laughing. "I'm serious. You must have an old one you don't want." "You'd do better to buy yourself a pair of trousers." "I prefer to drink the money." Serejka rose and, jingling his twenty kopeks, shuffled off, followed by a strange smile from Malva.
Should he embrace his father as Malva had done or shake his hand like Serejka? And Vassili felt hurt at this hesitation, which was visible in his son's attitude. "Remember your mother," said Vassili, finally. "Yes, yes," replied Iakov, cordially. "Don't worry. I know." "That's all. Be happy. God protect you. Don't think badly of me.
They scattered along the Vindya ridge, on the western frontier of Malva and Kandesh; and, later, in the woody wilderness, on the shores of the rivers Maha, Narmada and Tapti. And all of them, inheriting the beauty of their forefather, his blue eyes and fair complexion, inherited also his turbulent disposition and his vice.
You may also see the pink flowers of the Malva plant in abundance, the chaste mignonette and the Australian pea-vine. The latter is a favourite and clothes the bare walls of fence or house or trellis with a robe of beauty which queens might envy. Roses are rich and fragrant, white and pink chiefly, and delight the eye, no matter which way you turn.
