1." Having your head held roughly back over the basin to have your hair washed, with cold water running down inside your liberty bodice." (p.226)
2.My Guess: I think the term is referring to an undergarment of some kind, but I was unable to really picture what it was suppose to look like. I pictured something more like a corset since it was popular during that time.
3. Definition: The liberty bodice, as stated in dictionary.com, is a heavy cotton type undergarment that is vest shaped was used to be worn by young children.
4. Explanation:This all together means that as the character would, or anyone would get there hair washed they will get there thick cotton vest wet at the same time.
