The interior of a watch-house at night. The constable in charge sits in his hooded chair (right), book and pen at his right hand, holding his long pipe, a tankard beside him. He frowns perplexedly at Tom, who stands at the bar declaiming, an angry and damaged watchman pointing to him. Jerry struggles with several watchmen, and by the door (left) a man fees a watchman

"The dentist, short, fat, and bald, stands in back view on a low stool, his knees pressed against the chair, his left arm round the victim's neck; he tugs at an upper tooth. The thin elderly patient raises her left leg in agony, overturning the folding wash-stand on which the dentist's appliances are spread. These include a basin, cup (both spilling their contents), a double set of teeth, a hammer, and a stoppered jar which falls against a large pier-glass, starring it. Both are unaware of the accident, though a little dog barks from under the table. The glass reflects dentist and patient, showing the latter gripping the arm of the chair. There is a window (right), the lower part screened by a slatted green shade. Above this dangle teeth with large blood-stained roots. On a chest of drawers-bookcase are laid out sets of false teeth. The books are Warbler; Winter in London; Lock on the Gums; Miseries of Human Life [Beresford, see See British Museum catalogue No. 10815, &c]; Bible; Tales of the Devil; Tommy Two Shoes; Treatise on Tooth Powder & Brushes; Feast of Wit; Tales of Terror, and two big volumes of Frankensteiv [sic] [Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, published 1818].

Abstract:
"A scene in the Royal yacht. George IV kneels at the feet of 'Lady Hell-fling-stone' who is seated (left), expressing delighted acceptance. The King wears Highland dress with a very short kilt and cavalry boots (see British Museum Satires No. 14220) on bare legs. His (Garter) star is centred by a heart. He has a love-sick expression, right hand on his heart, his feathered bonnet in his left hand. On an ornate altar-like table are decanters and glasses. Curtis, even more burlesqued than before, enters (right) carrying a tureen of steaming (turtle) soup. He is in Highland costume with spoon, knife, and fork in the belt that encircles his paunch; a double chain of sausages (cf. British Museum Satires No. 14389) hangs from his shoulders, and he wears a fool's cap."--British Museum online catalogue
