Had tongue at will, and yet was never loud
...
She that could think, and neer disclose her mind,
See suitors following, and not look behind.
She was a wight, if ever such wight were
To suckle fools and chronicle small beer.”

“Dont you know there are 200 temperance women in this county who control 200 votes. Why does a woman work for temperance? Because shes tired of liftin that besotted mate of hers off the floor every Saturday night and puttin him on the sofa so he wont catch cold. Tonight were for temperance. Help yourself to them cloves and chew them, chew them hard. Were goin to that festival tonight smelling like a hot mince pie.”
