Description
In the middle sits a large cit's wife, fanning herself. On the left is her husband, and on the right is her footman. Her husband, two geese hanging out of his pocket, complains:
"Why my dove, I am loaded with provisions like a tilt cart on a fair day - and my pockets stick out as if I was just returned from a City Feast". His wife replies:
"Don't be so wulgar Mr Dripping - you are now going among genteel folks, and must behave yourself - We shall want all the Wickalls on the Woyage - depend upon it - bless me how varm it is, I am all over in a muck." On the right the footman announces:
"An please your Master and Missis, the sailor man has sent word as how the Wessel is ready to swim".
