- Abstract
-
"Two men lie in the small truckle-beds (i.e., trundle bed) of a cheap lodging-house, one (left) asleep. An old woman holding a candle kneels at the foot of the other bed, and tugs at the wooden leg of its occupant. She says: "There is nothing like looking after Servants I always like to see that my lodgers are comfortable. --Aye here's a pretty careless trick--the warming pan left in the gentleman's bed I declare". Its owner, an angry sailor, shouts: "Hollo --Avast heaving Zounds dont pull off my timber--I went to bed half seas over and forgot to stow it alongside the hammock"."--British Museum online catalogue, description of a later state.
