The Wooden Leg or Careful Landlady Two men in bed in a boarding house. In the centre the landlady, a candle in one hand, kneels on the floor and grabs the wooden leg of one of the men, saying: "There is nothing like looking after servants. I always like to see that my lodgers are comfortable. Aye here's a pretty careless trick, the warming pan left in the gentleman's bed I declare." The man in question, a sailor, complains: "Hello - Avast heaving Lounds dont pull of my timber - I went to bed half seas over - and forgot to stow it along side the hammock," 10 May 1809
