Abstract: "A sailor and a young woman in a low-necked dress standing next to and gazing at each other, an arm around each other's shoulders and clasping hands, their speech written above their heads. The girl says, 'you shall go with me I insist on it -'. The sailor replies, 'With all my heart my little Cruizer - but shiver my Timbers, - when I first look'd at you - and saw your out works so newly painted, and your rigging so light - that may I never cast anchor again - if I did not take you for a Modest Woman!"--British Museum online catalogue
