Description
A scene in a Scottish Inn. On the right a bare-foot woman is lighting a fire and complains:
"The Deel blaw this fire w'e his muckle A-se for ise nair fash mysel mair we't".
A male visitor, sitting at the table in the centre, looks at her and says:
"Sounds. We will all be suffocated with dust & smoke."
A short, bedraggled man, struggles to pour boiling water into a teapot on the table, scalding a cat in the process. The female visitor looks on in horror and says:
"Mercy on us look here my Dear, the fellow is pouring hot water on top of the teapot without taking the lid off & before he has brought tea to put in it."
The man replies:
"Feggs, you may skirll and Waloch as lang's ye like - ther's nane o the House will put themsel's out o' their gude Auld Gaits."
On the right can be seen a woman sitting in a back-room. Above her head is a ringing bell, but she sits, arms folded, and says:
"Aye, Aye ring till ye're tired, I canna be fashed."
