crone

“Neither Mr. Myler nor Mr. Crone told me that wrongdoing extended beyond Mr. Goodman or Mr. Mulcaire,” it said.

A hideous old crone covered with rags knelt beside the Duchesss, who on leaving the church offered her holy water.

You have learnt to sit behind the stove like an old crone, and to dangle at the apronstrings of the women.

Then the crone smote her lean hands one within the other, and laughed like a sea-gull.

The sexton approached the old crone, and laid his hand with violence upon her shoulder.

As her eyes got accustomed to the dim light, she saw the figures of two women, a boy, and an old crone sitting by a wood fire.
