Abstract: "Mrs. Clarke, in profile to the right, runs with extended arms towards a Quaker, saying, "Stop my Darling and go along with me". She is a siren, not resembling Mrs. Clarke (see No. 11216, &c). The Quaker walks stiffly from her, clasping his gloves to his breast; he says: "Woman avaunt, I am not to be tempted, and be it known also I am a married man, therefore what little business I do in thy way it is not worth dividing"."--British Museum online catalogue
