Do allow me to clarify Written by JulieW (9/2/2005 5:23 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, Hecht says, penned by JulieW

Are you new?

I should have inserted a new paragraph to make my meaning entirely clear.

Foreigners were appalled at the custom of giving vails in England.

They were not I think sufficiently liberated to be offended by practice ,adopted in some households, of only giving vails to male servants.
