Mrs. Grundy

Mrs. Grundy is the personification of the tyranny of conventional propriety (from Thomas Morton's play Speed the Plough, which appeared in 1798). (In modern British usage, she is Mrs Grundy; by contemporary rules of punctuation of 1798, still prevailing in North America today, she is Mrs. Grundy.)
