Gemma herself had trodden out the fire that consumed her, but who could dare say of the grey cold ashes, "These are altogether vile." "Tibi soli peccavi, et malum coram te feci: ut justificeris in sermonibus tuis et vincas cum judicaris." She had sinned, and she had been punished; she had suffered fear and shame. "Asperges me hyssopo et mundabor, lavabis me, et super nivem dealbabor."
