Mrs Monologue from The Wolves and the Lamb

From The Wolves and the Lamb by William Makepeace Thackeray

P.--Don't take it? why, it costs nothing; Milliken can afford it. Do you suppose I get champagne every day? I might have had it as a girl when I first married your father, and we kep' our gig and horse, and lived at Clapham, and had the best of everything. But the coal-trade is not what it was, Julia. We met with misfortunes, Julia, and we went into poverty: and your poor father went into the Bench for twenty-three months--two year all but a month he did--and my poor girl was obliged to dance at the "Coburg Theatre"--yes you were, at ten shillings a week, in the Oriental ballet of "The Bulbul and the Rose:" you were, my poor darling child.
