- Abstract
-
"Six men at a dinner-table, four in regimentals. An officer stands (right) to give a toast, the man seated on his left having said "Come Jack favor us with a Toast". He responds: "Here is the Lady that can raise Five Hundred Members!!" A civilian on his right says: "very fair--very fair". The man at the foot of the table (left) asks his civilian neighbour "How much did you give to be Gazzetted. The man answers gloomily: Five hundred hard cash!!" The sixth man says: "I did not think it would have been done up so soon-- I had promised at least a Dozen promotions"."--British Museum online catalogue

(Description and comment from M. Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', VIII, 1947) See No. 11216, &c. A reference to Mrs. Clarke's effect on the Commons, cf. No. 11238. Wilberforce records in his diary: 'House examining Mrs. Clarke for two hours--cross-examining her in the Old Bailey way--she elegantly dressed, consummately impudent, and very clever: clearly got the better in the tussle' (1 Feb.). 'Mrs. Clarke by fascinating the House has prevented its degradation by appearing to stifle the inquiry, and take too strong a part with the Duke of York--curious to see how strongly she has won upon people' (Feb. 26).
