A Peep in the City Two seated men cry into their handkerchiefs, while the Lord Mayor, standing on the right, tries to comfort them. The figure on the left is facing left. He is wearing a pale blue suit and is holding a cane in one hand, and is handkerchief in the other. A brown and white dog sits at his feet. He says: "I wont be serv'd so - that I wont - my Mamma never serv'd me so - she always let me have as much custard as I could eat - aye and currant jelly too, I wont bear it that I wont." The next man sits with his back to him. He is wearing yellow breeches and a purple coat and is also holding a handkerchief and a long cane. He adds: "Aye - aye - you shan't serve us so again - mind if you don't repent it, - I'll write to I know who about it - and mind if he don't tickle your Toby." The Lord Mayor stands on the far right, his hands clasped. He is wearing a red suit under a purple robe edged with fur. Around his neck he wears the chains of office and he says: "O dear - O dear - be good boys and don't say no more about it - I'll send you the remains of the Baron of Beef, to make it up - it is almost untouched - Mr Dig - the singer - eat two or three pounds to clear his voice - or else you may believe it is nearly the same as when it was brought to table." 20 Apr 1802
