He had a mostly bald head with a fringe of oiled black hair falling around his ears and and an old- fashioned tuft. A gold chain gleamed around his leathery neck, and a diamond ring glittered on his hand as it glided up and down the stem of the violin. A large foot stuck out from beneath his gold - bordered veshti edge, and he was beating time on the floor with the scrawny big toe .
