The lady of the house. That Georgena has certainly got the upper hand of me - she has such a way with her I can't refuse her anything. For me, I am a Windsor dear and the fattest I think, i' th' forest, - Shakspeare. William Heath.
The quotation referring to Windsor is adapted from The merry wives of Windsor by Shakespeare
