A scene outside the Bell Inn in which a country girl, Moll Hackabout, just arrived on the York Wagon, meets an extravagantly dressed bawd (Mother Needham); a clergyman on horseback fails to notice the encounter, but a lecherous old gentleman (Colonel Charteris) eyes the girl with anticipation. In the lower right the girl's initials "M.H." (M[ary?] Hackabout) are on her portmanteau, next to which is a basket with a goose with a note around its neck, "For my Loving Cosen in Tems Stret in London", presumably the person who has failed to meet her. In the background a woman hangs out her laundry on a balcony

A fat parson stands in the grounds of a country house as a footman on the right doffs his hat to him and a dog jumps on him in greeting. A fashionably dressed young woman walks on the park grounds (left) and looks coyly back towards them; behind her in the distance is a folly. Beyond the iron gates (right) -- the pillars decorated with eagles -- another servant waits by the carriage. In the distance (right) is a church spire

"A pedestrian struggles through deep slushy snow, facing driving snow, with a broken umbrella, the spokes projecting through the cover. He clutches at his cloak and hat; he wears gaiters to the knee with socks over them, and overshoes. Cape and comforter stream behind him. In the background is a row of three- and four-storied houses, some with shop-fronts. He shouts his greeting in the teeth of the storm to the woman in British Museum Satires No. 15000, a companion plate with the same signatures and imprint. A carriage and pair faces the storm, the coachman's cape swirling above his head. Men shovel the snow from the roofs, overturning a passer-by."--British Museum online catalogue
