- Abstract
-
A manservant and a maidservant on the extreme left peer through a half-opened door at two men seated at a round table covered with a white cloth on which are plates of peas, a decanter, and wineglasses. A waiter (left) is leaning towards them checking prices off on his fingers and saying: "I'm sure Gentlemen on inspection you'll find the charges very reasonable, nothing can be cheaper, fifteen shillings the peas! Ducks one pound one!!!" The man in the middle of the table looks at him with his mouth open; the man on the left holds up a sheet of paper on which is written "No. 4 Tim Fleecem Duck £1.1. Peas 0.15 s." He shouts: "Ducks!!! why my good friend they are Guinea Fowls!!!"
