Where it stands
Вдова Василиса, высокая, пухлая старуха в мужском полушубке, стояла возле и в раздумье глядела на огонь; ее дочь Лукерья, маленькая, рябая, с глуповатым лицом, сидела на земле и мыла котел и ложки. The widow Vasilisa, a tall, plump old woman in a man's sheepskin coat, stood beside it gazing pensively into the fire; her daughter Lukerya, a small woman, pockmarked, with a rather stupid face, sat on the ground washing the pot and the spoons.
Очевидно, только что отужинали. Evidently they had only just finished supper.
