Convinced that the thief who stole the snow cream was Eliza, Adeline flew into a rage. "And to think His Majesty even granted her the title of Holy Lady of Walden!

"She ran off to that nunnery, claimi, she wanted to practice devotion and prayer, yet all she learned was how to sneak around and steal like a common thiet. She's absolutely disgraceful!"
