"Two designs, side by side, each with a second title in the upper border: [1] 'Scene, in the Island of Jersey.' Wellington, in uniform, sits on a sofa beside Lady Jersey, addressing her, hand on heart: 'And will your Ladyship ever remain cruel, & insensible to emotions which You alone can excite?' She holds a cross attached to a rosary, and looks at him over her shoulder, aloof, but coyly persuasive: 'Oh you flatterer! Every body knows your devotion to Woods & Forests: therefor don't talk to me of Love, false man! my heart bleeds only for my persecuted friends of the true Church in Ireland. You are the only man in Christendom who is able to emancipate them. Grant me this favor, dearest! most illustrious hero and then perhaps--I could - - - -'. She wears a large hat of puffed-out silk over short ringlets; her dress has huge gigot sleeves. [2] 'Scene in the Duchy of Lancaster.' Mrs. Arbuthnot, pretty, décolletée, and jewelled, sits on a sofa with her back to the door, her right hand on her heart. Wellington, cloaked, booted, and spurred, stands in the doorway. She: 'Was that his knock? or is the false man a Jesuit in Love too?--Oh no although he spends his mornings in her boudoir--he loves her not--she cannot touch his cold heart--she too cares not for him but to serve her politics--& for that she assails his vanit--his weak side, on which I first attacked him--yes! his vanity! his passions!--these are the points for me to work at!--heart he has none.' The 'PP' of the signature points to an inscription in the upper margin: 'I'm sorry to intrude, but some dirty Rogue--has lately been copying my Caricatuers--robbing us of our Ideas & Just profit--may I ask of my Friends not to purchase unless they see the Publisher T McLeans name at the Bottom all others are Copies--P Pry.'
