- Abstract
-
"The interior of a slatternly cottage. Three visitors, a well-dressed man in top-boots (Mr. Stewart), a comely woman (Mrs. Mason), and a fashionably dressed young girl (Mary Mason), stand before the fire surveying the disorder. The woman of the cottage (right) barefooted and brawny, sweeps the earth floor, looking over her shoulder at the lady, who asks: "Mistress Mclarty, why do you not make your Daughters assit [sic] you". She answers: "Indeed my Daughters can clean the House, or Milk the ky as wee'l as I can when they like but its no often that they will be Fashed". Two gawky shock-headed girls lounge with amused interest in the corner of the room (left). Two box-beds are on the right with household gear hanging over them, including twists of yarn, with a large cobweb against the wall. Small chickens peck at the contents of a large pot (a whey-pot) and plates on the floor. A cat laps from a bowl on a rough dresser above which plates and spoons are ranged. The doorway (left) gives immediately on to a pond in which ducks swim; beside it is a tall manure heap."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
