And consider The 4-Loom/Poor Cotton Weaver, whose wife's instinct in times of hardship is, if able to get clogs for the journey, to go to London to appeal to the King, confident of his sympathy; and will resort to fighting only if disappointed therein. Even so, she asserts that, for all her poverty, "She's nowt against t'King, But she likes a fair thing".

A naive, but surely moving, simple soul's attitude ~~ a bit of folkloric instinct, in fact.
