1 In a small back room there sat, on a large chest, a young woman in a blue dressing jacket with a white kerchief thrown over her dark hair, Fenitchka.
2 She wore a neat print dress; a new blue kerchief lay lightly on her plump shoulders.
3 Fenitchka had put her own hair too in order, and had arranged her kerchief; but she might well have remained as she was.
4 She was sitting on the garden seat, and had as usual thrown a white kerchief over her head; near her lay a whole heap of red and white roses still wet with dew.
5 The kerchief slipped from her head on to her shoulders; her soft mass of dark, shining, slightly ruffled hair was visible.
6 She started, sprang up, and flew to seek her kerchief, her hat, her coat, as though making her escape from me.
7 The cold wind flapped the ends of her kerchief and her loose locks of gray hair.
8 Having taken a kerchief from the cupboard, Willarski bound Pierre's eyes with it and tied it in a knot behind, catching some hairs painfully in the knot.
9 Once or twice he shrugged his shoulders and raised his hand to the kerchief, as if wishing to take it off, but let it drop again.
10 At last he moved up to Pierre and, taking the kerchief that lay on the table, again bound his eyes.
11 Under guise of a present for the pilgrims, Princess Mary prepared a pilgrim's complete costume for herself: a coarse smock, bast shoes, a rough coat, and a black kerchief.
12 Anisya Fedorovna flushed, and drawing her kerchief over her face went laughing out of the room.
13 Just then Mavra Kuzminichna appeared from behind the corner of the house with a frightened yet resolute look, carrying a rolled-up check kerchief in her hand.
14 While still a few steps from the officer she unfolded the kerchief and took out of it a white twenty-five-ruble assignat and hastily handed it to him.
15 She took off her kerchief and her hat, and catching it in a lock of her black hair, which was a mass of curls, she tossed her head and shook her hair down.
