One (l.) says: "Why Jack! you was so long in a French Prison, I suppose you larnt to patter their Lingo a little." The other answers: "No Bob, I never some how fancied it they call things out of their names so d----nably, - why would you believe it, they call a Horse a Shovel, and a Hat a Chopper!!!""--British Museum online catalogue
