UNCLE PETER SERGEJEVITSCH
Two persons became the object of Tania’s warm
attachment, her father’s eldest brother, and her
mother’s only brother. The former, Peter
Sergejevitsch Rajevski, was a very tall, stately
old man, with a large head and beautiful white
wavy hair. His face, with its fine regular profile,
grey bushy brows, and deep perpendicular
furrow dividing the forehead, would have looked
almost fierce, but for a pair of kind, honest, and
innocent eyes, such as we frequently see in faces
of small children or Newfoundland dogs.
Peter Sergejevitsch was no worldly-wise man.
Though he was the eldest son, and ought to
have been the head of the family, everybody
had treated him like a big baby. He was very
original, and a dreamer. His wife was dead, and
he had left his considerable fortune to their only
son, reserving a small allowance for himself.
