"Five women, fashionably dressed, are grouped by a round table (right). Three play cards, one (right) weeps, reading a book: 'Excessive Sensibility a Novel in 21 Volumes by the Auth[or] of Tears & Sighs / Chap 1st'. A fifth stands with her back to the others, drinking, a decanter in her right hand. A plainly dressed man wearing top-boots, and hat in hand, sits (left) in profile to the right regarding the women with consternation. Next him the husband, fashionably dressed but clumsy, sits with hands on knees, frowning angrily. The former says: "Why Jack you terrible Turk I could not believe it if I had not seen it--Five Wives at once--why you will get yourself into a pretty scrape! what could induce you to commit such a rash action." The other answers: "Why you must know Uncle--out of so many I was in hopes to have met with a Good One--but by St Patrick. I have been taken in--!!"."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
