But, speaking of her sensibility,
she was so full of charity and pity
that if she saw a mouse caught in a trap,
and it was dead or bleeding, she would weep.
she kept some little dogs, and these she fed
on roast meat, or on milk and fine white bread.
but how she’d weep if one of them were dead,
or if somebody took a stick to it!
how is the prioress most clearly characterized in this passage?
as angry and critical
as serious and hardworking
as funny and optimistic
as sensitive and emotional
