Her retrospect gradually brightened, never to brilliance but to a soft luminance, brightest at the farthermost point and sad like the dying daylight. She summarized her griefs danger, death, suspense, shame and long hopelessness. The lonely girl's stock of unhappiness took her breath away and she pushed back the wimple as if to clear away the oppression.
Clad in the black robe of a Sister of the Assumption, enlivened by a white coif, a white wimple, and a large white apron, Sister Hyacinthe smiled, the picture of courageous activity. Her youth bloomed upon her small, fresh lips, and in the depths of her beautiful blue eyes, whose expression was ever gentle.
Wimple shivers but he's so comical you never can tell what he really means that way he looks may be just what she saw in a movie once about "the pallid touch of the prison." If it's indigestion, though, he ought to try Pepsolax that certainly eases you up right Finally Oliver stacks all the layouts together in a careful pile and goes in to see Mr. Alley.
Not that he had been insensible for all this while that is, quite for at intervals he had become aware of that large, cool room, and of people talking about him especially of a dark-eyed, light-footed, and pretty woman with a white wimple round her face, who appeared to be in charge of him. Occasionally he thought that this must be Margaret, and yet knew that it could not, for she was different.
Private. Wimple, Sept. 27th, 1751. My Dear Lord, I have reserved for this private letter a few words relating to Dr. Rooke's affair.... But before I enter into that, permit me to make an observation upon the extraordinary method, which was taken to apprehend Lieut. Cranstoun.
She wore an outer robe of a dull woolen stuff which covered the blue garment worn underneath the garment which indicated that she was a virgin. Over her head and around her neck she wore the customary white veil or "wimple." As the donkey jogged along, stopping now and then to nibble at the bushes on either side, she sat calmly looking out upon the surroundings.
'True, said Sir John, with a satirical curl of the lip; 'above all, when fair ladies brook not to ink their ivory fingers. 'There spake the envious fiend, laughed the elder brother. 'John bears not the sight of what he will not or cannot get. 'I'll never be chained to a lady's litter, nor be forced to loiter till her wimple is pinned, retorted John.
Lifting her hand to her head, she hastily tore off the barb and wimple, with little respect to the pins which fastened them, and with the result of a long rent in the former. "That's for one of you to amend," she said, with a short laugh. "Ye should be thankful to have somewhat to do provided for you. Ay me!" The words were uttered in a low long moan.
Henceforth she resolved her life should be free and chainless as the winds. Never more should needle and thread tempt her to a womanish inactivity. As Hercules, whose counterpart she was, changed his club for the distaff of Omphale, so would she put off the wimple and bodice of her sex for jerkin and galligaskins. If she could not allure manhood, then would she brave it.
"There was once a prince who was walking in a forest near his castle one day that's how all the nice stories begin and he suddenly came across a beautiful maiden, and he said to himself, 'I've lived here for years and years and years, and I've never seen her before, and I'm not sure whether her name is Katharine or Alice, or where her uncle was buried, and I've got a new surcoat on which doesn't match her wimple at all, so let's leave her and go home to lunch.... And THAT'S what it is to be one of the elect!"
