- Abstract:
- "The King, Queen, and six Princesses, three quarter length, are seated round a frugal tea-table. The King, in profile to the right, faces his daughters, holding his cup and saucer to his lips, and saying, with a staring eye, "delicious! delicious". The Queen sits in the centre behind the small tea-pot, holding her cup and saucer in bony fingers, and looking with a wide and cunning smile towards the Princesses, saying, "O my dear Creatures, do but Taste it! You can't think how nice it is without Sugar: - and then consider how much Work you'll save the poor Blackeemoors by leaving off the use of it! - and above all, remember how much expence it will save your poor Papa! - O its charming cooling Drink!" The Princess Royal sits at the end of the row, on the extreme right, with four sisters diminishing in age on her right, a sixth just indicated behind the Queen. They hold, but do not drink, cups of tea, with expressions varying from sulky discontent to defiant surprise."--British Museum online catalogue.

They look in horror towards Pitt, who rushes in, terrified, from a door (right), holding out a paper inscribed 'News from Sweden', and saying, "Another Monarch done over!" He is grotesquely thin. The King rises slightly, holding his stomach, and saying, "What ? Shot ? What ? what ? what ? Shot! shot! shot!" He wears a nightcap tied with a ribbon inscribed 'Honi Soit qui M . . . '.
