~The Progress of a Lady-Goose~
The poor and beautiful Miss Molly Country-Goose is newly arrived in the metropolis.Her dear friend Miss Lucy Duck (well situated as milliners assitant) has in several letters extolled the advantages of the city.
After having saved up a tidy sum Miss Molly Country-Goose journeys with the next coach to the city-
She is greeted upon arrival by the friendly and lavishly clothed Mrs Citie-Goose,who flatters her fine-feathered beauty-behold! Offers her a position "wellpaid and comfortable"
What a Lucky Goose!
Surely Miss Molly Country-Goose is on her way to a honest profession for surely there cant be anything sinister in accepting a strangers help. Mrs Citie-Gooses manner of dress and easy manners are respectable enough...

(gasps slightly as a Richardson-worthy avian tale surely lies before us) Oh, oh, Miss Molly! Will she find her friend Miss Lucy and a respectable life in the city before Mistress Citie-Goose leads her astray??
(hee hee Sophia, this is FANTASTIC!! really wonderful)
.....Eagerly awaiting the next instalment of this story......what does Destiny have in store for Miss Molly Goose? The city can be a harsh and unforgiving place for such an innocent
Who knows anything could happen...the city is a treacherous place...
((I might deviate from the actual story told in the plates,its no fun just repeating )
You should warn your silly geese about the city. Read this story to them and theyll likely stay far far away from it.
Its not unlikely that they know her..maybe one of them is Mollys mother?
Oh, no!!! Looks like she is being "goose pimped"...as the other one appears to be a "madam" goose...ching ching. Innocence lost in the loosey goosey city.
