A short reminiscence of the Beguinage at Bruges, where elderly lace-makers (dentellières) lived in seclusion beside the Minnewater. It centers on the oldest lace-maker, the Doyenne of the Beguinage, who was over ninety and always kept her lace pillow beside her, and describes her death when troops encamped in the park at the start of the First World War. A photograph shows the Doyenne seated in her interior.
