Excerpt from A Lily of France
Last of all came two children, little girls of ten or eleven years, dressed alike in gowns of coarse white cloth fastened plainly about the throat and falling to the feet, confined at the waist by a girdle. Each wore on her head a white linen coif, from which hung a square of white muslin, forming a short and scanty veil.
