Lady P: Chop, chop girls, get into bed, you know I believe an early six o'clock is good for you

Nellie (Whispers): She just wants to get rid of us!

Eliza: But why, it's still light! You know we don't manage to sleep till 10 o'clock anyway

Lady P: Don't care, this is my orphanage and I say what happens, besides, you need the rest

Nina (whispering): She doesn't care about us at all, she only opened this place to appear kind and improve her nasty reputation

Nellie: We don't want rest!

Lady P: Too bad, it's chore day tomorrow and Sunday is my parade

Nina: Yak, Yak, Yak all you talk about is your parade

Lady P: Nina how dare you, you'll clean the water closet tomorrow

Nina: Wow that's a bit harsh, and it STINKKKKKSSS

Lady P: You'll shut your pretty little mouth if you know what's good for you

(Nina stares at the ground)

Lady P: Now, if no one has anything else to say OFF TO BED

(turn and walk and Lady P goes off stage)

Eliza: Why do we always have to sleep in such a draughty room

(Peggy comes up behind them)

Peggy: I know, it's so unfair isn't it

Nellie: hooray Peggy, you got dismissed early

Peggy: Not that I wanted to be dismissed, I'd honestly rather be cleaning up after Lady Prescott than "sleeping" *sigh*

Nina: Tomorrow I have to clean the water closet because I was "rude"

Peggy: She's so hateful isn't she, tomorrow I'll slip a slug into her tea

Eliza: *giggles* That's a great plan, Peggy

Nellie: I'd LOVE to see the look of horror on her face

Peggy: Can you believe she's trying to overthrow the monarchy. HER.

Nina: I know right its so stupid, she thinks her PARADE is helping, UGH

Eliza: She really thinks if she can get King Henry to fall in love with her and her daughter she can be his new wife

Nina: She's literally his cousin!

Nellie: and we all know what happens to the kings wives
