The wardrobe woman, who had the care of the linen, in her turn brought in a covered basket containing two or three chemises and handkerchiefs.

The morning basket was called pret du jour.

In the evening she brought in one containing the nightgown and nightcap, and the stockings for the next morning; this basket was called pret de la nuit.

They were in the department of the lady of honour, the tirewoman having nothing to do with the linen.

Nothing was put in order or taken care of by the Queen's women.
