"I'll give it a coating of linseed oil, then varnish it and make me a cowled waterproof." "But the marchionesses, don't they see that these people sell their gifts right away?" "Much they see!" To these idlers the whole business was nothing more than a pious recreation of the religious ladies, of whom they spoke with patronizing irony.
