The R-t kicking up a row, or, Warwick House in an uproar!!! [graphic]

"The Regent, flourishing a birch-rod and clenching his left fist, threatens three ladies who flee before him; he kicks them, one falls on her back. All three scream, the Regent shouts: "Get out! get out! you faggots! get out of the House I say--Zounds I've burst my Stays!-- what! what! you'll let Her see her Mother will you?!! O! you Jades!--but I'll soon put a stop to that, I'll lock the young baggage up, thats what I will & I'll kick you to the Devil & thats what I will so turn out! turn out! Out! Out! Out! & be d--d to you all?!" Through a wide-open door (right) Princess Charlotte, wearing a small coronet, is seen fleeing with raised arms, looking over her shoulder. She screams: "Oh! Mamme! Mamme--Pappe's going to whip me Oh dear oh--." Behind the Regent (left) stands the Bishop of Salisbury, burlesqued, holding a crosier in his right hand, with a mitre perched on his grotesque wig. He registers alarmed astonishment, saying, "Dash my Wig, here's a pretty Kick up!!!" Through an open window (left) a puzzled and uneasy John Bull stares in; he says: "What the Devil is he about now?!!" In the foreground (left) the Prince's hat and gloves lie on the floor beside an open book: 'Turnout A Farce'."--British Museum online catalogue
