"The interior of a dairy: George III (left), in shirt-sleeves, is churning; the Queen, dressed as a farmer's wife, sits in the window counting the coins which the Princess Royal pours on to the table. The Princess has a basket on her arm and is dressed like a country-girl. The Queen says, "Bless me, Child, you have made a very bad market! Good Heavens is it possible the people can be so unreasonable these plentiful times to expect six eggs for a groat! You shall tramp to London next market day." The King adds, "A very bad market girl, indeed, a very bad market girl - Limy shall go next" (cf. British Museum Satires No. 6947). Behind the King are shelves with bowls of cream, a furtive cat drinks from one of them. Above them, three milk-scores are chalked on the wall, headed, 'Cartwheel's score', 'The Widow Waggonrut', and 'Mrs Towser'. On the ground (left) is a pile of cheeses. Outside the wide doorway (right) Pitt, elegantly dressed, is milking a cow with a fastidious air; he sings: "I made war with Kate, a buxom Northern Lass: But such my cruel fate - " Thurlow, wearing a smock, stands with his back to Pitt, cracking a whip; he says, "She bid you kiss her A------! Damn the Whip I'll never learn the right smack of a Carter.""--British Museum online catalogue
