1.   We waited in the yard until the lady prioress herself came out, a strange woman and rather young for such high office.

2.   The lady prioress joined us.

3.   Ah, yes, the lady prioress was also preparing herself.

4.   Praise be, the lady prioress had no light or candle there.

5.   I took my place in the refectory at a separate table near the dais and watched the lady prioress sweep in.

6.   Behind us, the lady prioress gasped.

7.   The lady prioress, a pure wool cloak wrapped around her, came down to bid us adieu.
