"An obese old doctor sits between Mrs Clarke and a thin elderly officer (right), chapeau-bras, sitting grotesquely expectant on the edge of his Easy Chair. The doctor puts a money-bag inscribed 800 into the dress which Mrs. Clarke holds up to receive it, pointing to the officer, one Captain Tuck. From his pocket hangs a paper Doctor Doneover [Donovan] Agent to Old Nick-Deanery 2000, Commissary 1000, Majority 800 Mrs. Clarke (left) sits in a Ricketty Chair; its seat is Morocco Bottom [an allusion to Taylor, see No. 11218]; under her feet are three papers: My admirable angel My Dear dear pretty little darling; My Love my Life I cannot exist without you; Gazzette. She is one of Rowlandson's pretty meretricious women, and does not resemble Mrs. Clarke. Behind her is a curtained bed, its head inscribed Boudoir; above this hangs a bust profile portrait of Fredirick 2 beneath which a paper is pinned up: List of Candidates for Promotion Sums offered Clav . . . [Clavering, see No. 11247] 2000, Dow. [Dowler, see No 11253]-800, OM [O'Meara, see No. 11258] 300 .. . 200. Beside the bed is an ornate table with decanters and glass, and a paper: Rogues all sing tanta-ra-ra-Blood an Thunder when Whore and Rogue are rent asunder. On the floor is a book, Mrs Clarks Ledger, on which are papers spiked on a file: Promotions paid for. Two quotations from Gay's 'Beggars Opera' complete the design. Above the doctor's head, on a large scroll, are eight lines beginning:"Tis Woman that seduces all mankind, Under Tuck's chair is a paper: If you mention vice or bribe, Tis so pat to all the tribe-each cries that was levelled at me."--British Museum online catalogue.

"An elderly parson (right) capers wildly, arms outstretched, wig flying off, his hat on the floor. On the left a comely wife and two boys watch him with astonishment. They sit by a table on which are wine and fruit. She says: "Why my Dear-you are quite frantic, what is the matter with you". He answers: "Frantic-I believe I am,-I have been preaching before Royalty, our Fortunes are made,-such a Sermon-neat text-quarter of an hours discourse-appropriate prayer at the conclusion,-O, to see them cry, it would have melted an heart of Stone,-Oh bless that Mrs Clarke I shall never forget her"."--British Museum online catalogue.

"Eight authors, lean and elderly, dine at an oval table in a handsome book-lined room. A plump man sits at the head of the table (left), reading and gesticulating. The others drink wine, or eat dessert; one helps himself from a punch-bowl. Below the design: "People think that we often dine with Democritus, and there they are mistaken. There is not one of my fraternity, not even excepting the makers of Almanacks who is not welcome to some good table - As for my own part, there are two families where I am received with pleasure. I have two covers laid for me every day one at the house of a fat director of the farms to whom I have dedicated a romance, and the other at the house of a rich Citizen who has the desease of being thought to entertain wits ever) day at his table, luckily he is not very delicate in his choice and the city furnishes him with great plenty"."--British Museum online catalogue.
