PAULINE. Oh, yes, mam. This humble heart (tapping her waist) has felt the what-you-call it many a time. I have always wished, mam, to be a pirate.
All. A pirate!
PAULINE. A pirate. And why not? That's men's work. Listen:—
Since my mother's lap I played in
When I was a wee small maiden—
SUSAN. Just so high!
All. Just so high!
PAULINE.
I have had a great ambition
For to better my condition—
SUSAN. So have I.
All. So have I.
