Had vowed herself to be a nun.
Though Peter teased for many a day
She pressed her lips and said him nay,
And when he begged that she at least
Would leave the question to the priest,
Although she grudged her faint consent
As meaning doubt, at last she went,
Overpersuaded by Peter’s prayer,
To take the case to Father Clair.
Peter, the Little, of Attegat
