Description	An interior scene. An old woman in conversation with a man. The old woman, wearing glasses and a mob cap, complains: "I believe Doctor that you a little better than a great Irish imposter - to take two guineas for curing my chimney..., and the moment I put a bit of fire in the grate I am half suffocated". The doctor holds out his hand and replies: "Don't put yourself in such a passion my dear Crater. I'll make it appear as plain as the nose on your face - all you talk'd to me about was smoke - you never mention'd the fire - depend upon it - if you put no fire in the grate the Devil a bit of smoke will come from the chimney".
