- Abstract:
- "The Blockhead family, seemingly older by some ten years, admire W. B., now a sturdy young man, in smart tight-waisted lieutenant's uniform with knee-breeches. He looks over his shoulder at his reflection in a cheval-glass, beside which stands another young man dressed as a dandy (cf. No. 13029). A lap-dog shaved in the French manner looks at itself in the glass. Mr. B. sits delightedly in an arm-chair. Mrs. B., stouter and less fashionable, stands by W. B.; the toddling child of No. 14089, now a little girl, stands behind her. A tiny boy holds the sword and eclipses himself with the cocked hat. An elder daughter stands by her father's chair. Three admiring servants stand just inside the door: the fat cook (little altered), a neat maid, and a gawky footman.
