Arrogance (or nonchalance) of the Tenth retorted [graphic]Cruikshank, Robert, 1789-1856, printmaker[April 1824]eng"Two designs side by side. BALL ROOM. A repetition of British Museum satires no. 14646 [2]. The M.C. has no wand, but holds an opera-hat; he says: 'Will you accept of this Lady for a partner, Sir?' The hussar, who lounges with hands in pockets and both legs over the back of a chair, answers: 'Shew her off!--Trot her out!! let us see her foine legs'. A civilian standing behind the lady (left) laughs: 'Ha! Ha! Ha! So this is one of the extra polite Dandies of the Tenth'. Two fellow officers stand beside the first. One says: 'No! Tenth don't daunce!!' [cf. British Museum satires no. 14643A]. The other inspects the lady through an eyeglass, saying, 'Zounds, Dam-me!' DRAWING ROOM. The lady of the ball-room stands beside another; both are young and pretty and in ball-dress. The officer (right) bows from the waist, pointing the left toe, left hand on hip and holding up an eye-glass. He is without pelisse and sword. The second lady, holding up a fan, says: 'Sir this is the Lady you desired me to Trot up to you.' The lady in question also bends from the waist, pointing a toe, inspecting the officer through an eye-glass. She holds a lighted candle, saying, 'No--Wont do! Trot him out!!--Trot him out!!'"--British Museum online catalogueTitle from text below images.Text above images: Ball room. Drawing room.
