| Description | A seated bald old woman gives her young maid, standing on the right, instructions:
"Molly - mind what I say to you - lay my wig on top of the drawers - mind my bosom - and don't rumple it - lay my eye on the dressing box, and the row of teeth by the side of it - and call in again for my eye-brows - lay every-thing in such a manner that I may easily find them in the morning - as I wish to be made up by twelve precisely - in order to meet my Lord Ban-dash."
