I entreated her to stay in bed, and her mother added her voice to mine; at last I persuaded her, telling her that I would not leave her for a second, and that I would have my dinner by her bedside. She then put on a corset and asked her sister to draw a sarcenet coverlet over her, as her limbs could be seen as plainly as through a crape veil.
Her dress in the house was usually of coloured sarcenet, for a small vessel came into the port one day during her father's lifetime, unloaded a great quantity of bales of goods with English marks; and as the vessel had gone out in ballast, there was a surmise on his part by what means they came into the captain's possession.
There is one certain exception however in this case, and that is, when you are so fortunate a fellow, as to have had your jerkin made of gum-taffeta, and the body-lining to it of a sarcenet, or thin persian.
But no sooner had Sibyll raised her face than she was recognized. "Ho, the wizard and the wizard's daughter! Ho, the girl who glamours lords, and wears sarcenet and lawn! Ho, the nigromancer who starves the poor!" At the sound of their leader's cry, up sprang, up climbed the hellish sisters! One after the other, they darted through the lattice into the chamber.
In the earlier stages of the proceedings she was present almost every day in the House of Lords.

"I hope my lady will think me worthy of such an honour." There are certain ideas, it seems to me, which enter no head but an Englishman's. I was invited by Count A B to Milan, and the countess wrote me a charming letter, begging me to get her two pieces of sarcenet, of which she enclosed the patterns.
The Countess was certainly pretty, though too small, and I might still have loved her, in spite of my disappointment, but at our meeting she greeted me with a gravity that was not to my taste, and which gave me a dislike to her. After the usual compliments, I gave her the two pieces of sarcenet she had commissioned me to get.
"Very good," said I. "I have no objection to your maid hearing what I have to say. I thought it would be you that would object." "Anne," said Dolly, "did you pack the sarcenet?" "Yes, mistress." "Then tell me again the tale that you were " I broke in with such fury that even Dolly ceased.
