II. Cambric is a dense but lightweight linen or cotton fabric.

III. A spinet or spinnet is a keyed instrument like a harpsichord, though usually smaller.

IV. Although there was a Calderwood in Scotland until the mid-twentieth century, these are likely more fictitious names.

V. A woman’s short cape.
