First sentence: I was tiny at birth. My brother Vladimir, who was several years older than I, had been a large, sturdy baby.  My father was annoyed when he first saw me.  I learned years afterward that it was not my size which irritated him.  It was my features.  I had slightly slanting eyes and prominent cheek bones.  My hair was black and my eyes very dark.  He believed I was a throwback from our Tartar ancestors.  And of all things, he wanted to forget we had Mongolian blood in our veins.
