A social satire: a woman in a apron and with a kerchief on her head is seated at a low table with a basket of lobsters; she holds out one lobster that is pulling a man's nose, as she says "There d-n your Eyes, who stinks now?" He winces in pain and pushes back against her arm as he replies, "Begar he bite! Oh!!!"
