As Julia helped her down from the cart, Gabrielle looked around. They were outside a grey stone building that was surrounded by a fence. "Welcome to the Aubazine Abbey and Orphanage!" said the nuns(修女). "It is your new home!" The nuns urged the three girls inside the towering doors of the building and showed them the new bedroom with walls painted white and the beds were made of iron with woollen blankets. "You must be up at dawn for prayers!" The sisters climbed into their little beds, but it took them ages to fall asleep. The next morning, rubbing the sleep from their eyes, the girls put on the plain black dresses they had been given. Then, they were marched to pray, Just as the sun was rising.l5u答案圈

The girls had lessons in reading, writing and maths. The nuns were very strict. One day, the head nun made an announcement. "You have to learn something useful! It is time for sewing lessons!" It was tricky work but Gabrielle soon mastered the art of cutting patterns from cloth and smoothing it with heavy irons that were heated in front of the fire. The sewing lessons were her favourite part of life in the orphanage(孤兒院). Inspired by her own imagination, she began altering her plain clothes.l5u答案圈

One day, Antoinette wore the new hat in town. Its careful sewing and exquisite decoration won envious stares from numerous women. “Where did you get this hat?” on Antoinette’s tail, they asked repeatedly. “If you want to know, just follow me.” Antoinette answered, lips curved up into a mysterious smile. Burning with curiosity, they trailed Antoinette and arrived at Gabrielle’s workshop, where the creative and industrious girl was busy sewing her own stylish hat. Impressed by Gabrielle’s originality and adroitness, these women placed large orders and soon wearing Gabrielle’s hats became a new fad for every woman in town.l5u答案圈

Driven by the popularity of her hats, she opened her own shop. She also designed easy-to-wear clothes for women, whose lightness and simplicity beat the previous bulky and complicated dress with ease. It seemed Gabrielle was revolutionizing the fashion industry not only in her little town, but also the whole France. When asked where Gabrielle drew her inspiration, the entrepreneur credited her success to the sewing lessons as well as the plain nun clothes they used to wear in the orphanage. To reciprocate the training and nurturing she received from the nuns, Gabrielle donated a substantial part of her earning to the orphanage, whose condition improved vastly to uphold the dreams of young poor girls like Gabrielle and her sisters.l5u答案圈
