A Tale of Two Cities Quote

[Madame DeFarge has come looking for Lucie and the child. Miss Pross bars her way out]

Miss Pross: Oh no you don't!

Madame Defarge: Let me pass.

Miss Pross: Never! I know what you want. I know what you're after. And thank heaven I'm put here to stop you - for stop you I will!

Madame Defarge: In the name of the Republic...

Miss Pross: In the name of no one, you evil woman. You've killed many innocent people. No doubt you'll kill many more; but my ladybird you shall never touch.

Madame Defarge: No? Do you know who I am?

Miss Pross: You might - from your appearance - be the wife of Lucifer; yet you shall not get the better of me. I'm an Englishwoman! I'm your match!

Madame Defarge: Pig, get out of my way or I'll break you in pieces.

Miss Pross: Break away, then. I don't care an English tuppence for myself; but I know that the longer I keep you here... the greater hope there is for my ladybird.
[they fight]
