Coarse

Coarse Written by Julie W (9/19/2005 5:28 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, Physical appearance (mostly ch.1), penned by Line

according to my Johnsons Dictionary ( 1821 edition) is defined as follows:

vile , rude ,gross, not fine, rough

So poor Mary may have put on a little weight after haivng the children, or her skin texture may have changed.

I tend towards the latter explanation.
