As cats grow cantankerous in old age , so do women , and Angela is a good example of one of the many vicious , crafty, and crabbed old vixens who monopolize society . When she hears Percy murmur words of love to Molly , she hisses : Ah ! if there were a devil to buy souls, Or if I had not sold mine ! Quick bargain , God ! Hell catch the jade ! Blister her fat red cheeks ! Rot her snub nose ! Poison devour her guts ! Wither her fresh clean face with old grey scabs, And venomous …
