I could not hurry before them fast enough; they were not so long in seeing for the first time, as I could have been in one room, to examine what I knew by heart. I remember formerly being often diverted with this kind of seers; they come, ask what such a room is called, in which Sir Robert lay, write it down, admire a lobster or a cabbage in a market-piece, dispute whether the last room was green or purple, and then hurry to the inn for fear the fish should be overdressed., Signed and dated by the artist in lower right corner of image., Place of production inferred from artist's city of residence during this time period., Page reference for quotation written below title: Page 68., and Bound in as page 144 in volume 3 of M.C.D.
