Abstract:
"Four ladies sit at a round table, two old and ugly, the others young and comely. The ugliest (left) peers through spectacles at a newspaper, screaming, "Mercy on us here is news!! They write from Hanover that when Boney part took possession of that country, he ravish'd all the Women!!" The other, holding up her fan, exclaims: "O! the Wretch". The two younger ladies (right) turn to each other, saying, "It is very true Ma'am it is only a word and a blow with him-Your Honour or your property", and "Well Ma'am if he should come here, at all events I will take care of my property". A young girl, sitting demurely at a little distance from the table, her wrists crossed on her lap, says: "So will I Mamma!" A butler with a tray of glasses enters the door, grinning."--British Museum online catalogue
