Abstract:
A man hunched over a fire in an empty room as eight tradespeople -- a chandler, a baker, a butcher, a dairy woman, a tailor, and a dustman -- fight to present their unpaid bills, long scrolls of paper that they show to the bankrupt man. He responds: ‘God bless me Wot a Posse of ye - I’m very Sorry to inform ye my good Folks that I’ve just been turn’d a Bankrupt’.
