When, perhaps, the last glance of her wandering eye

Had caught the "Cock Laundresses' Coach" going by,

Or her lines that hung idle, to waste the fine weather,

And she thought of her wrongs and her rights both together,

In a lather of passion that froth'd as it rose,

Too angry for grammar, too lofty for prose,

On her sheet—if a sheet were still left her—to write,

Some remonstrance like this then, perchance, saw the light—


LETTER OF REMONSTRANCE
FROM BRIDGET JONES,
