Title	Laudable Secrecy Respecting a Peace or John Bull too Inquisitive
Date	Jul 1806
Description	John Bull and Charles James Fox in conversation. John Bull, on the right, is a large elderly man in a powdered bob-wig and glasses. In his pocket he has papers marked 'Omnium' and 'Speculation on Peace'. He asks Fox: "Now do Charly, my dear good boy - open the door a little bit farther - just to enable me to take in a few of my friends at the Stock Exchange." Fox, on the left, is standing next to a half-open door, through which is passing a man with a scroll marked 'Dispatches'. Fox has a document in his pocket marked 'To Monsr Talleyrand Negotiations'. He replies: "Really Mr Bull, you are too inquisitive - dont you see the door for Negotiation is open'd? - dont you see the back of a messenger? - dont you see he has got dispatches under his arm? - what would you desire more -".
