Ili ne volis gxeni la nigre vestitan virinon, kiu sencxese, kvazaux senspirite, la funebrajn cxambrojn trapasxis; de frua mateno gxis malfrua vespero, en pensojn profundigxinta, sxi travagis la logxejon, senripoze kiel la pendolo de l'horlogxo, kvazaux sxi eterne iun aux ion sercxus.

Some makers, however, fit the soap coarsely and allow a nigre to deposit; then, after removing the nigre, or transferring the settled soap to another copper, containing scraps of mottled soap, get the soap into a condition for mottling, and add the silicate of soda solution.

The quantity of nigre may vary not only with the amount of water added during finishing, but is also influenced by the amount of caustic alkali remaining in the soap paste prior to fitting.

This water renders the caustic into a lye sufficiently weak to dissolve a quantity of soap, consequently, as the "nigre" is a weak solution of soap together with any excess of alkali (caustic or carbonate) and salt which gravitates during the settling, the quantity is increased.

The amount of the layer is very variable, and doubtless, under certain physical conditions, this liquor has separated from the nigre.
