The Manufacture Of Wax Candles

Before I Took The Veil, I Was Ornamented For The Ceremony, And Was Clothed In A Rich Dress Belonging To The Convent, Which Was Used On Such Occasions; And Placed Not Far From The Altar In The Chapel, In The View Of A Number Of Spectators Who Had Assembled, Perhaps About Forty.

The Bishop, As I Have Remarked, Was Not Very Dignified On All Occasions, And Sometimes Acted In Such A Manner As Would Not Have Appeared Well In Public.

I Must Be Informed, That One Of My Great Duties Was, To Obey The Priests In All Things; And This I Soon Learnt, To My Utter Astonishment And Horror, Was To Live In The Practice Of Criminal Intercourse With Them.

The Manufacture Of Wax Candles Was Another Important Branch Of Business In The Nunnery.

I Have, I Think, Afforded Every Opportunity That Could Be Reasonably Expected, To Judge Of My Credibility.
