“At the end of six months you shall go to Buckingham Palace in a carriage, beautifully dressed. If the King finds out you're not a lady, you will be taken by the police to the Tower of London, where your head will be cut off as a warning to other presumptuous flower girls.

If you refuse this offer you will be a most ungrateful wicked girl; and the angels will weep for you.”
