Linen I had none left but what was mere rags; I had goat’s hair, but neither knew how to weave it or spin it; and had I known how, here were no tools to work it with.
Le linge qui me restait était en haillons; j'avais bien du poil de chèvre, mais je ne savais ni filer ni tisser; et, quand même je l'eusse su, il me manquait les instruments nécessaires. Je ne trouvai aucun remède à cela.
