"I really don't know," came the muffled reply from behind the yashmak, "if he comes at all." As Cairo entire had accepted the invitation, the place was packed, but nowhere was the crowd so suffocating as round the entrance to the Winter Garden. "Per-fect-ly wonderful," gasped a rotund Ouled Nail to a masked dancer of the same sex and size.
At last, after a great many hesitations, Zouhra, who is the bravest of them all, ventured to go out with me, buried in the recesses of a brougham, and protected by a very thick kind of mantilla, which after all was hardly any less impenetrable than a yashmak.
Lady Hester related this story with great spirit, and I recollect that she put up her yashmak for a moment in order to give me a better idea of the effect which she produced by suddenly revealing the awfulness of her countenance.
Of those who muster sufficiently strong at the evening promenade on the Boulevard, indigenous or resident, for the most part, rather the look than the number is formidable; and it is here in Nijni, as it is generally in Russia, that a Mussulman becomes convinced of the wisdom of his Arabian prophet, who invented the yashmak as man's best protection, and hallowed it; for of the charms of most Russian women, blessed are those who believe without seeing!
She lowered her yashmak and looked at him with burning eyes. "Thou art altogether beautiful," he answered, "but there is a strangeness to thy beauty like none I have seen; as if upon the face of an angel there fell a mist nay, I have not words to make it plain to thee."
She had made a mistake and henna'd her finger-tips, which members of the humblest class have not time to do besides, their patient hands matter so little and her great eyes looked as black as the yashmak over which they shone. Her beautiful face was hidden, yet was she infinitely alluring, tantilising, mysterious, under her veils.
It was then that I first beheld her face. In her excitement she managed, somehow, to snap or loosen the fastening which held her yashmak, and it fell fell, and let my son realise, as I realised, how wondrously beautiful it is possible for the human face to be!" "Steady, Major, steady! I can quite understand your feelings can realise better than most men!" said Cleek with a sort of sigh.
And in order that I may no more see your foolish little pretty face, I decree that, for the future, you wear a yashmak to cover up your lips, which, I can see, were meant to be seductive, though dirty; and you can leave the blue eyes, and the little white-skinned freckled nose uncovered, if you like, they being commonplace enough.
She had a distinct sense of intrusion mingling with her delight at having intruded, and she murmured her good wishes in an almost inaudible tone. "It is very good of you to let us come ... I wish you every happiness," she said. Beside her a tall slender figure, in black tcharchaf and yashmak, made its appearance.
He drew out his pancake phone and stretched it so that it covered both their lower faces, like a double yashmak. Gusterson, his neck pushing into the ribbed bulge of the shoulder cape so he could be cheek to cheek with Fay, felt horribly conspicuous, but then he noticed that none of the slidestanders were paying them the least attention. The reason for their abstraction occurred to him.
