The nun knew her at once; she raised her eyebrows in surprise, and her pale, freshly washed face, and even, it seemed, the white headcloth that she wore under her wimple, beamed with pleasure. "What a miracle from God!" she said, and she, too, threw up her thin, pale little hands. Sofya Lvovna hugged her and kissed her warmly, and was afraid as she did so that she might smell of spirits.

And the heart of him stirred with pity to see her so pale and wan, as if she fared but poorly.
The lady was clothed in a great robe of gold brocade, and her headcloth, of fine cambric, was turned so that her face was hidden. Behind them rode a little dark man, hairy and fierce of face, dressed as a page; and he sat on a great horse, strong and spirited, yet the dwarf held it well in hand.
