Though I'm not sure, I thought I saw women dressed in black, with her head and face covered by a black veil, duck behind a tree as we approached the road and parked car. Hiding so we wouldn't see her. But I caught a glimpse, enough to reveal the rope of lustrous pearls she wore. Pearls that were there for a thin white hand to lift and nervously, out of long habit, twist and untwist into a knot. Only one women I knew did that--and she was the perfect one to wear black, and should run to hide! Forever hide! Color all her days black! Every last one! . V.C. Andrews
About This Quote

The pearls that the woman was wearing were a symbol of her beauty and she had wrapped them around her neck as a way to show off her beauty. She had no intention of losing them and was hiding them from anyone who may be looking to steal them. The pearls represented her beauty and therefore they could not be stolen.
