Wicked Words From Wild Women

Pray good people , be civil. I am the Protestant whore.

Nell Gwynne (c.1650 - 87)
when during the popish terror  of 1681, her coach was surrounded
 by an angry mob under the impression that she was another of
Charles II mistresses, Lousie de Keroualle, "the catholic whore"
whom the King made Duchess of Portsmouth
