And a nice handsome gown on the tally.

Such a bustle, oh! dear, she does wear,

Why cut up with pride I am sure she is,

Some can always see other folks’ faults,

But they never can mind their own business

Mrs Stradle has just gone along,

Don’t you think she’s a queer sort of creature

She owes tenpence for chandler’s shop score,

Besides eighteen pence for the baker.

And she can drink gin like a fish,
