Depiction: The disconsolate sinner, with hard peas in his shoes is crawling along, doubled up with agony, to the shrine at Loretto, meeting half-way the joyful pilgrim, who has accomplished his penance, "whitewashed his soul" and returned from his journey without personal inconvenience by the exercise of the simplest precaution, as he confesses: "To walk a little more at ease, I took the liberty to boil my peas!"
