Excerpt from Lizzie Lyle: Or the Flower Makers of Finsbury, a Tale of Trials and Temptations, in Three Acts Batter. I declare, if it wasn't for meeting some of the girls as they come home from flower-making, I should feel as lonely as a milestone. Three years have I been in the force, and a woman of fortune hasn't fallen in love with me so far. I've been looking out for a roll of bank-notes without an owner, for the last two years, but I haven't seen 'em yet. I fancy there is more chance for a fellow in the army. I wish I was a blue Scotch grey, instead of a blue bobby. A man of my appearance ought to do something, men of my personal attractions are not picked up every day, but still I don't seem to go off, somehow. Ladies of fortune! where is your taste? Open your eyes, some of you, or I'll take a dreadful oath to die single. Ah, it's the dinner hour at Madame Fanchon's, and here come some of her hands. I wish one of them would set me on my legs - but, like me, their faces are their fortunes. Enter Anne Brown, Mary Green, Carry White, and others, R. Good day, ladies - flowers of Nature, who live by making artificial ones. May husbands of a thousand a year marry every one of you, and sprigs of little offshoots blossom in the garden of your happiness.
