Отрывок из книги
Alila is such a strong, active boy now, it is hard to imagine him in his babyhood, – he was such a tiny brown tot!
His nose was so flat one would hardly have noticed there was a nose at all, except for the wideness of the nostrils. His big black eyes seemed to be moving around all the time, as much as to say:
.....
He is a small man, this father of Alila. He has high cheek-bones like the Chinese and Japanese, and no beard upon his face.
When he felt that everything was really safe, he climbed down from the thatched roof, and, opening the door as little as possible, went softly up to the mat where the baby lay and kissed him.
