... On the days when she was ailing
she lay upon a bed in the great front keeping-room, with a piece of
coarse muslin over her face, presumably sleeping; but let any one of the
workwomen, or the servant Olena, or even a cow, put her foot in it—a
cow is especially liable to do this—and the muslin fluttered in a hot
wind of Ruthenian objurgation as the Proszę Pani's voice echoed through
the house, for whose fine acoustics the big music-loving pine-trees that
formed it were answerable. (A Girl in the Karpathians, Dowie,
1892)
