The list begins with 'bracelets, and earrings, and rings, and tablets, all jewels of gold. And then it goes on to 'blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and red skins of rams, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood. And then we read that the 'women did spin with their hands, and brought that which they had spun' namely, the same things as have been already catalogued, 'the blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen. That looks as if the richer gave the raw material, and the women gave the labour.
FitzPatrick swallowed his coffee in silence. In silence he arose and slipped on his mackinaw blanket coat. In silence he thrust his beechwood tablets into his pocket, and picked his pliable scaler's rule from the corner. "Where are ye goin'?" asked the cook, anxiously.

Upon the table was the minister's inkhorn and pen. I drew my tablets from the breast of my doublet and began to write. "Diccon!" I called, without turning, when I had finished.

While the leech broke the seals of the tablets, which the abbess had carefully closed, and began to read the contents, Horapollo asked the gardener: "And the nuns? Did they all escape?"
