You could not have known the monk better if you had lived all your life in the monastery with him.

Alvena only laughed, apparently enjoying the child's ignorance; but Sybil said gently, "'Tis satin, little maid." "Is it for our Lady's Grace?" asked Maude. "Ay, when 'tis purfiled," replied Alvena.

"I saw his sleeves were purfiled at the hand With fur, and that the finest of the land; And for to fasten his hood under his chin He had of gold ywrought a curious pin.
