Moll Flanders! Wickedest woman in the world! Moll Flanders, thief and whore! The things she’s done would chill you to the bone. Married five times, ladies and gentleman. Moll Flanders! Born in Newgate, carried off my gypsies, saved by the Mayor of Colchester. A whore to one brother, a wife to the other for five long years! Moll Flanders, the merry widow! Wickedest woman in the world. Born in Newgate, stolen by gypsies, saved by the mayor of Colchester. Seduced at seventeen by one brother and married to the other at eighteen! Married five times in all and once to her own brother! Fornication! Bigamy! Incest! And worse than that to come, ladies and gentleman! Moll Flanders, the final descent into vice and depravity! Moll Flanders, in the shadows of the gallows! Moll Flanders, whore and thief!
