- Abstract:
- "An elderly schoolmaster sits by a writing-table, in profile to the right, addressing an old countrywoman who faces him, making a slight curtsey. Behind her (right) are four little boys, two with bags of books slung from the shoulder. The schoolmaster, who wears night-cap, slippers, and buttoned overcoat or dressing-gown, says: "Good woman you are always making complaints against my Scholars, what have they done to offend you now?" She answers: "Please your Honors Worship they followd me up and down--and said one to another--At her!--beat her! damn her!--pelt her!-- and a great deal more that I do not recollect". The leader of the boys, bowing, cap in hand, says: "Indeed Sir, we were only repeating our Greek Alphabet, in order to get quite perfect--what the Old Woman heard was only Alpha--Beta-- Gamma--Delta--and so on to the conclusion". The boys' expressions indicate a successful conspiracy."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state.

He says, registering dismay, "But if Mr Spriggins should come home what should we do then." She answers, calculatingly amorous: "Be not alarmed sweet Lily of the Valley." [4] 'A Walk to the Shubbery' [sic]. A not uncomely woman, holding up a fan, leads a hideous man towards a shrubbery. He says: "Let me lead you lovely fair one--Nothing loath."

Sourly sanctimonious parsons sit together, each with clasped hands. They say: "Sad times sad times Friend Nicodemus, this Crim Con Business is quite shocking," and Ah it is of no use talking to them--they will have their own way--shocking doings indeed." [2] 'A Kitchen Scene'. A hideous and fashionably dressed old woman (? a cook) reclines in an arm-chair while (?) a steward or clerk of the kitchen stands before her adjusting her large ear-rings. They say: "Do my sweet Creature let me fasten on your ear rings" and "Oh fie Mr Clerk you are really too bad." [3] 'A Lecture'. Two elderly and ugly women stand glaring angrily at each other. They say: "Mrs Amelia Caroline Skeggs [one of the courtesans in 'The Vicar of Wakefield']--I am afraid you give too much encouragement to Mr Spriggins" and "Take care what you say Maam my Character is not to be sported with." The first speaker holds a fan, her breasts are immodestly bare, the other wears a wide straw hat, her hands in a muff. [4] 'An Affair on the Dickey'. A couple embrace on the box-seat of a carriage; the young woman is comely, the other is a coachman in livery. They say: "O you Angel" and "I'm afraid my love you will get the whip hand of me." [5] 'Information'. Two hideous men stand facing each other, one uses an ear-trumpet, and wears spectacles and a night-cap. They say: "Speak louder;, only one shilling damages --why I shall be ruined--" and: "Never mind--you have lost a bad wife, and got a good shilling." [6] 'A Compromise'. A burly fellow threatens with his fists a smaller one who cowers in terror. They say: "you little Scoundrel did not I catch you with my wife--I'll break every bone in your skin" and "Dont be so obstropolous Ill give thee a quartern of gin to make it up and thats better than going to La--"."--British Museum online catalogue.
