He says: "Now I have got my head down Water I am determined to go on Swimmingly." The Newfoundland dog 'Carlo' (his massive padlocked collar so inscribed) who played in 'The Caravan', faces Sheridan holding in his mouth a basket labelled 'Raw Materials for New Subjects'; these are rolled MSS. inscribed: 'Dog-Matical Essays', 'Bark-shire Poems', 'Bones to Pick'. Fox (r.), immensely fat stands beside Carlo, in profile to the left., r. hand on the dog's head, l. in his coat-pocket. He says: "You are a very good Dog Namesake - a very good Dog indeed - I wish you would Spin me a little Money thes hard times - it would be very acceptable." Behind Sheridan are book-shelves; from a shelf inscribed 'Glass Slippers as good as New' two slippers dangle. The titles of the (bulky) books are: 'Jack the Giant Killer', 'Goody Two Shoes', 'little Red Riding Hood', 'Tom Thumb', 'Seven Champions [of Christendom]'; actually these tales were best known in penny chap-books"--British Museum online catalogue

"The interior of a lawyer's office. A smartly dressed young man (l.), pen in hand, crouches in a ranting attitude, addressing an elderly man in old-fashioned dress, who gapes at him in dismay.

Below the design: 'Dramatic Phrensy, to no place confind At freedom roves, and occupies the Mind, The Lawyers Clerk, Old Square-toes will to cross, Who spouts Lothario when he should engross All on a sudden from his writing stoops, My fierce ambitious soul declining droops His simple Master by - cries "whats the matter? Tom's in a fit here - Betty bring some water!' (Tom quotes the dying Lothario in Rowe's 'Fair Penitent', iv. I.)"--British Museum online catalogue

"scene in a coffee-house or tavern, the tables (l.) separated by the high backs of benches topped by short curtains, leaving a wide floor-space (r.). A young man, fashionably dressed, postures as if terror-struck before two astonished waiters (r.); a broken decanter and spilt wine lie at his feet; the foremost waiter points to the mess. The second waiter holds a punch-bowl. A man seated at the nearest table watches in quizzical amusement. An ornate wall-mirror reflects a lighted candelabra. Below the design:'Like dire Macbeth, - with sudden glare and start, Young Vapid studious o'er the Tyrants part, Like a stuck pig he stares - and trembling stands, Down falls the glass and bottle from his hands, Th' affrighted Waiter saw his tackle broke, While thus his attitude - and thus he spoke "Thou canst not say I did it bloody Banquo? Yes cried the Waiter "by my soul I can though.'"--British Museum online catalogue

The 'cit' gapes in apoplectic astonishment, still holding knife and fork on which food is speared; the edge of the table-cloth is tucked down his neck. His wig falls off. On the table is a bird; bread-basket and (broken) pitcher lie on the floor, salad-bowl and large cruet are falling. A dog barks. A terrified footman seizes his mistress's shoulders; his are grasped by a rough-looking maidservant. ..."--British Museum online catalogue
