I'm not 'ere to be pleasant, young leddy: I'm 'ere to edicate you. (VICAR: Yes, I think I see! AUNTIE. Go on: go on!) Well, I come to this 'ouse this mornin', I don't mind ownin' it, in a rotten bad frame of mind: I 'ad a little job on 'and--a job a bit above my 'ead, an' it got me dahn an' worried me: yus it did--worried me. That young leddy 'll tell you wot I was like when she fust saw me: I looked that bad, she thought I come to steal summat! Well, p'r'aps I did, arter al!--summat as I 'ad no right to, summat as don't properly belong to a streaky swine like me. That was when she fust saw me; but I was wuss before that, I tell you strite! MARY (self-consciously). What changed you?
