"She was clever. She sat, pure as an angel, with her throat and hair veiled, and the silken fall of her hood caught at her breast with a reliquary brooch worth more than a few Montello oak trees. [later] ‘I shall send you music,’ Gelis said. ‘I am going to see the Prior now, to make sure that you have all the help and comforts you need. And meanwhile, I want you to have this.’ It was the reliquary brooch from her cloak. The monk protested but eventually took it, his face shining. C&R 2.15. Deborah Conway Read explains the options available to the Monastery for how it would manage the donation and posits possible motivations by Gelis in gifting it.
