"Scene in an assembly room. A mountainously fat woman stands fanning herself, as she talks to a stout man in old-fashioned dress. She says: "Dear me it is perdigus Hot! which would you advise me to do take a Rubber or Dance." He answers: "Dance first! Madam, and take the Rubber afterwards." A fashionably dressed but vulgar-looking man stands by, looking quizzically at the lady. In the background (left) is a high musicians' gallery, and below it four people dance a (?) country dance. There is a cut-glass chandelier. Through an ornate arched doorway four people are seen playing cards."--British Museum online catalogue

"A fashionably dressed man (left) regards apprehensively a young woman (right) who holds out her fists as if sparring; he makes as if to depart. Both have Jewish features and curling hair. On the wall are three boxing pictures: 'The Game Chicken', half length, flanked by men sparring. The Jew relates with Jewish pronunciation his attempts to find a wife. Miss Devy jilted him, Miss Rachel's father sold watches and rings: 'And dere vas nothing to do but buy de ring out of her fader's shop - but ve couldn't agree about de price . . .' Then Miss Moses: 'Her Broder vash mighty rich, and got money in de shtocks, He vashn't so vulgar to get it by trade, but taught de great people to spa and to box.'"--British Museum online catalogue
