wornness

The plaid cloth was old-she could see the fading along the creases and the wornness at the hem-but carefully kept.

It was the first time I had ever sorted anybody She was all fluttery with tiredness and strangeness, and there was a question deep inside her that had the wornness of repetition, but I couldn't catch what it was.
