"No. 4; scene at the door of a rustic inn, a large Union Jack floating over the doorway. An officer puts a cocked hat on the head of an ungainly yokel; another flirts with a pretty girl; they sit together on a bench (right), a dog gazing up at them. A smart drummer-boy beats his drum; behind, a peasant in a smock wears a cocked hat. In the doorway the fat host pours out wine; the sign is 'The Old Flask'. In the background (right) a sergeant drills a very awkward squad of four."--British Museum online catalogue

"Fox flees in terror through the doorway of the House of Commons, taking an enormous stride. Beside him runs a thin demoniac greyhound, Grey, wearing a collar: 'Opposition Grey-Hound'. A small animal runs behind with the head of M. A. Taylor.

Fox, indicating that between them they have left little room for their leader.
