Trying to recall a Gilbert & Sullivan quote: "remains of a fine woman"--?

Asked by Jeruba (55843points) April 7th, 2010

In the spoken dialogue of one of the Gilbert and Sullivan operas, the older female character is described as having the ruins or remains of a fine woman about her.

An older woman who is the butt of jokes for having lost her youthful figure is a staple G&S character, so I am not coming up with any hook that helps me remember which one this is. I’d like to find the exact quote.
