A groom leads a horse round a yard. On the left, the owner and a potential customer stand in the doorway, under a sign which reads: 'A KEEN | HORSE DEALER'. The customer, on the left, asks:
"Well! I have no objection to the price, but you'll answer for it, he won't refuse timber*?"
The dealer, on the right, replies:
"Refuse timber!! why he'll leap over your head!! What do you think about that!!"
