| Doa Paula sent for Nieves, the embroideress, and a long conference ensued with closed doors. |
| She had been an embroideress for thirty years, but her sight failed and she was obliged to give up work. |
| As an embroideress there were few more delicately trained eyes and defter hands than hers in England. |
| I am afraid she had no other female accomplishments than those by which the sempstress or embroideress earns her daily bread. |
| The embroideress wore a scarlet sash at her waist, and this remark of her ex-admirer so flustered her that she could not reply. |
| Both looked at the embroideress, who raised her head, and seeing that the conversation was about her, she made a face. |
