The sub-prioress was an old Spanish nun, Mother Cineres, who was almost blind.
副院長是個眼睛幾乎瞎了的西班牙籍老修女，西內萊斯嬤嬤。
The prioress, without adding a word, rose and entered the adjoining room, which was the hall of the chapter, and where the vocal mothers were probably assembled.
院長沒有再說別的話，她起身走到隔壁屋子里去了，隔壁的那間屋子便是會議室，參議嬤嬤們也許正在那里開會。
In addition to these worthy mothers, some old society women had obtained permission of the prioress, like Madame Albertine, to retire into the Little Convent.
除了這些真正夠得上稱為嬤嬤的以外，還有幾個紅塵中的老婦人也和阿爾貝爾丁夫人一樣，獲得了院長的許可，退隱在那小院里。

The prioress at the convent seems not to have been a Bunnykins fan.
