"Four bishops wearing mitres dance together, each holding the hand of the one opposite him so that four hands cross in the middle. They dance round the 'Quebec Bill' which lies on the floor. Other bishops, not wearing mitres, are seated in a semicircle behind them, watching with approval. On the left are three figures who appear to be directing the dance: Lord Bute in highland dress plays the bagpipes, next him is Lord North pointing to the dancers, and on North's left is a minister wearing a ribbon. Above their heads flies the Devil pointing to North with his right hand, his left forefinger laid against his nose. The scene is a panelled room."--British Museum online catalogue
