- Abstract
-
In a country landscape, a man and a young woman in riding habit ride together (left to right) on a white horse, passing a signpost that reads (left) "To London" and (right) "To Newbury and Well Hall". She sits in front, holding the reins and riding astride. She holds up a purse in her left hand saying, "This will pay you for your Trouble Honey". The man sits behind, his feet in the stirrups, his left hand on the woman's waist; he says, "Promise me that and I will never say another Mass". The man wears ordinary riding-dress; the woman wears a feathered hat over a frilled cap, and a tight coat over a ruffled shirt. Behind them (left) walks a young woman, wearing a cap of lace and ribbons; she holds her apron to her eye, saying, "The Old witch is carrying away my Director". The words issue from the speakers' mouths on long scrolls. In the foreground (left) is a tree; the background is an undulating landscape with a square church tower and the roofs of a village among trees
