Title	A Negotiation for a Piece
Date	1 Jan 1807
Description	Two men discussing the merits of crim. con., watched by the woman in question. On the far right, a hunched old man in glasses says: "As you can agree together - I think I am very good to take her off your hands at any rate. - You know Jack - I dont mind a few guineas one was or the other - but you really over-rate the article - it is completely forestalling: in short you'll entirely ruin the regular Markets." A younger man, in a cravat and jean-de-brie coat says: "I assure you my Lord - what I ask is extremely reasonable - for on the word of a Gemmen - if I chose to run the risk - I might make five times the money of her - in the crim-con line." On the far left sits an attractive woman, in a low-cut dress. She says: "I wish gentlemen you would come to some decision - it is terrible to be kept in this suspense." Available on CD 163.
