Yesterday she toiled at her distaff from morning to night, and went to mass with the tail of her petticoat over her head instead of a veil, and to-day, forsooth, she goes with her farthingale, her embroideries, and her nose in the air, as if we did not know her'" (Page 59).

The townspeople used black and white pebbles to vote for or against conviction. There is a group of men depicted in the image sitting around a table and pouring out their marbles on to the table to see if Myscelus would be convicted or not.
