Title
The Road to London or the Countryman and the Quakers
Date
22 Apr 1812
Description
A countryman asks directions from a pair of Quakers. They are standing by a sign post which points to London. The countryman, a bundle over his shoulder asks:
"This beant the way to Lunnen Gemmen - be it?" The two Quakers, both dressed in long dark coats, buckled shoes and black broad-brimmed hats, look disapprovingly and one replies:
"Verily I do not understand thy meaning. Thou first tellest us a Lye, and then thou asketh us a question!"
