- Abstract
-
Two ugly dandies face each other across a round table as they play cards. Both are fashionably dressed. The one on the right says: "Fifteen six, a flush, and his whig, makes me out -pon honor 'tis really astonishing. You are not in luck." His opponent responds: "Prodigious!! then I am diddled again--Monstrous! Oblige me with a pinch of your mixture or I shall expire!" On the wall behind them on the left is a bust portrait of a man in Roman armour inscribed "My Papa!" and on the right, a French window with a full-length curtain. An ornate rug covers the floor
