- except that, having left, in the eager haste and terror of a mother's heart, the privacy of her own _boudoir_, she has neglected to enthral her tiny feet in their slippers, and utterly forgotten to throw over her Venetian shoulders that drapery which is their due.
ただ、恐怖におののき、一刻も早く駆けつけたいという母親の気持ちと、人目をはばかる私室を出たとき、はきもののことなど眼中になく、優雅なひだのよった柔らかなベネシャンの肩掛けを羽織るという女性の嗜みも全く頭から離れてしまっていただけなのかもしれません。 - Edgar Allan Poe『約束』
