...swears with precision and puts up a heated battle when Robin insists on saving her from the sheriffs clutches. She would as soon go to prison, but she has little choice in the matter. Robin slings her over the back of a horse as if she were a saddlebag...

These are caused, says Mme. Ronsard, by cellulite, which she defines as a gel-like substance made up of fat, water and wastes that becomes trapped in lumpy, immovable pockets just beneath the skin.
