" What is the matter with her '?" they cried. " She will not go to her hushand, but lives alone like an outlaw. " She was an innovator, boldly breaking through a tra- ditional custom, and they resolved to " reason " with her. Their arguments were those which the strong too often employ against the feeble ; they hurled at her bad names, and they scratched her face and pulled her hair. Still she would not yield ; and in contentment she milked her sheep and goats, drove them to the pasture, and dr...ew water for them from the well, waiting for some happy turn of fortune which might unite her with her Azim. At last Suluk also resolved to try the effect of "reason. " With three or four friends he repaired one night to her kibitka, and broke it open, resolved to carry her off to his tent, and compel her to be his wife. Love and despair, however, lent her so won- derful an energy, that she resisted all their efforts. They dragged her to the door ; but she clutched at the door-posts with her hands, and held so firmly, that to make her let go they were forced to draw their knives and slash her fingers.
