"A fat cook sleeps by the kitchen fire in an arm-chair with her feet high up on the chimney-piece. She holds a glass filled from a bottle of 'Cherry Bounce' at her elbow. Close beside her a comely plump kitchen-maid is also asleep, with her arm round the neck of a negro footman who sleeps on her shoulder. All have beatific smiles. Before the fire a cat sleeps on the back of a dog. Cooking utensils stand on the chimney-piece and hang from the wall; dishes on a dresser complete a crowded interior."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state.

"John Bull (right), an obese 'cit', is addressed by a group of citizens, less obese, but much caricatured. Their spokesman says: "You must know, Mr Bull, we are a Society of Odd Fellows who had a lodge in Downing Street, and were robb'd of our Cash and accounts, notwithstanding we met at the Kings Head and so near the Treasury too! - is not it very hard - however we have left Downing Street intirely!" John, his hands under his coat-tails, answers: "All I have to say my good Friends is this - I am very sorry for you but I must own I am of opinion if some more Odd Fellows in Downing Street were to quit theire situations it would be very much to my advantage!" They stand in 'Bird Cage Walk', the name being on a piece of paper on the ground. Behind are railings in front of trees behind which are the towers of Westminster Abbey.

"A clumsy lumbering diligence, with four horses, leaves the porte-cochère of an inn, part of whose ornate façade is on the left. The sign, 'Le Qoque [sic] en Pate', hangs from a wrought-iron bracket. Two postilions ride the near horses, flourishing their whips. The coach is full inside and out with typical French characters, humorously drawn, soldiers, monks, and women, with couples absorbed in conversation. An old couple beg from the passengers. A lean sow with small pigs scampers beside the coach. In the background (left) is the west end of a small church with a Calvary beside it at which nuns kneel in prayer; a group of monks approaches holding a cross. Down the hill leading from inn and church a post-chaise and pair and a post-boy on a horse are galloping, the latter wearing the huge 'milk-churn' boots which astonished visitors to France. A row of very ancient gabled houses forms part of the background, while on the extreme right is a large building of more recent date."--British Museum online catalogue.
