The innkeeper proclaims "You say you want a little gentlemen in a brown wig. I have really so much smoking business in my parlour that 'till I make use of the bellows I can never distinguish a customer, I believe that is the gentleman you mean." The servant excitedly responds in a Cockney dialect "Yes, Yes, sure enough that be Master, but before he vanishes again, tell him that Missis has sent the street door key."</dc:description><dc:description>Title inscribed in black ink below image in the artist's hand.</dc:description><dc:description>Signed by the author's in black ink below image.</dc:description><dc:description>Future imprint statement for print based on this image inscribed in brown ink: London : Pubd.
