"Whitelocke stands passively, directed to the left., with flexed knees while two little drummer-boys complete his humiliation. One (l.) stands on tip-toe to cut off his epaulet, while the other stands on a drum behind him, breaking his sword over his head. Sword-belt, scabbard, gorget, epaulet, regimental buttons, and gold lace lie on the ground, as does a music-book open at 'The Rogue March', with a fife lying across it, to indicate that he has been drummed out of the army. On the left. the Devil, half length, emerges from the ground, surrounded by fire and smoke; he offers Whitelocke a cocked pistol, saying, "Now fellow if thou hast a spark of courage left take this." Whitelocke answers: "Have you taken the flint out." See BMSat 10974, &c."--British Museum online catalogue

His vis-à-vis, rising from his chair, answers: I should be very happy to obey your Orders Colonel, but really your glasses are so small that d------n me if theres enough for a Prime [a specialized meaning of the word not in the O.E.D.] . . At the Colonel's feet are papers: A Penny saved is a 2 Pence got and Current Price of Port Shery--To one Pipe Old Port £120. The butler behind his chair grins delightedly. On the wall is a placard: Maxims--How to get Rich--Pinch Sque[eze], Gripe, Snat[ch].

The man's predicament is unobserved by four men studying the Gillray prints displayed in the shop window, each identifiable: a gentleman with a quizzing glass held to his eye; a military officer; a coachman; and a young dustman carrying a pair of skates under his arm, his nose eaten away by syphilis. From the cobblestone street a dog looks at the man. Through the shop door, two men, one an obese cleric, are shown examining a print
