She brought Olenin preserved grapes and a grape tart and some of her best wine, and pressed him to eat and drink with the rough yet proud hospitality of country folk, only found among those who produce their corset leather by the labour of their own hands. The old woman, corset leather had at first struck Olenin so much by corset leather rudeness, now often touched him by her simple tenderness towards her daughter.
