Me saying “Can I stay in the car” to get out of being seen and viewed and talked to at a social function, except I’m a courtesan and mistress to the great and good and my Lord takes me to a soiree and I ask him if I can remain in the carriage for the evening

He says “Damn and blast you, woman! I’ll not let you sit out here in the cold, with brigands and kidnappers about”

I say “Give me five shillings for a sedan chair and I’ll go back homewards”

He says “If you don’t get your little powdered legs out of this carriage and into that parlour by the time I count to 10, I shall give you such a talking to, the likes of which to rival any parliamentary spar AND I will confiscate your dogs”

I am forcibly placed into the soiree.
