Hi,
I am looking for your help with a word. My sister has asked me this and I
have no idea of the answer! She is reading a book ('Girl of the
Limberlost' from early 1900s, in case that helps) and has come across
'guimpe' in a couple of sentences (that I know of) and doesn't know what
it means. The following are quotes from the book:
"She caught up the money and the note, thrust them into her guimpe ..."
"Whatever she got for that must be made with a guimpe that could be taken
out to make it a little more festive ..."
Can anyone help with a definition? I can't provide more on the quotes,
etc as I was asked in a letter and that is all she tells me (she is in the
UK).
Thanks in advance,
Helen ([EMAIL PROTECTED], stuck in the office on a beautiful sunny
