Title
Daud Casheff's wife spoke in a low voice (original source)
Short description
Sarah Parker-Brown recounts her first encounter with Daud Casheff's wife, noticing a low tone of voice as the latter spoke to a young girl.
Text on source
I gave her some different kinds of beads; she was surprised I did not wear any myself. I informed her as well as I could that I was dressed as a man; she then spoke softly to the little girl, the slave before mentioned, who came and sat down by me, and some other old hags she had sent for: the girl first untied my neckerchief, examined my coat, and showed as much curiosity about the buttons as my friends at Assouan; their remarks on my corsets, which I still wore, were extremely sensible.
