five o’clock
The Emir and the Khans dismounted , as did the dignitaries who escorted them . All entered a magnificent tent erected on the center of the first terrace . Before the tent , as usual , the Koran was laid . Feofar 's lieutenant did not make them wait , and before five o'clock the trumpets announced his arrival . Ivan Ogareff -- the Scarred Cheek , as he was already nick-named -- wearing the uniform of a Tartar officer , dismounted before the Emir 's tent . He was accompanied by a party of soldiers from the camp at Zabediero , who ranged up at the sides of the square , in the middle of which a place for the sports was reserved . A large scar could be distinctly seen cut obliquely across the traitor 's face .
