Mrs B Quotes Flashcards
A description of mrs b
About fifty, a rather cold woman and her husband’s social superior
Looking down on the lower class
girls of that class
Trying to show family social position
you know, my husband was Lord Mayor only two years ago and that he’s still a magistrate
Trying to avoid blame and also putting it on other people
I’m very sorry. But I think she only had herself to blame
Still avoiding blame
I’ve done nothing wrong – and you know it
Sticking the blame on other people again
Go and look for the father of the child. It’s his responsibility
Trying to say girls in that class should not have feelings
She was giving herself ridiculous airs…claiming elaborate fine
feelings…that were simply absurd in a girl in her position
Looking down on the working class like they are beggars
As if a girl of that sort would ever refuse money
Half hearted apology and does not think she plays a part in her death
I’m sorry she should have come to such a horrible end. But I accept no blame at all
Mrs b saying what should happen to the child’s father
he ought to be dealt with very severely-…make sure that he’s
compelled to confess in public his responsibility
Mrs b thinking that she was doing her duty and was not made to confess
he certainly didn’t make me confess – I had done no more than my
duty
