Damascus house reminds of a British woman's love story
On Jane's background, Mrs. Lovell said that Jane had spent her entire life in huge houses and palaces being spoiled and waited on by dozens of servants. Life for her in the black tents was very different. And even though she was wife of a Sheikh, she still had to learn from the women how to milk camels and sheep, how to cook for Medjuel over an open fire, how to make a home of their tent, and to fetch the water and gather firewood. The thing that first won for Jane the respect of the tribe was her immense knowledge of horses, something that was very important to the men.
