"The Dey of Tunis, a fat Turk, sits cross-legged on one mattress (left), the Princess of Wales, in Turkish costume, on another; her huge breasts are immodestly bare. He smokes a long pipe, and puffs smoke sideways towards his visitor with an inscrutable expression; beside him are coffee-pot and cup. She smokes a hookah; a bottle of 'Coniac' and a glass are beside her. A Tunisian with a long beard and baggy breeches stands between them, staring and bowing towards the Princess; he says: "His Highness Trusts the endeavours of his household for your Gratification is successful and that happiness in the Halb of the Faithfull attends you." She answers: "their Assiduities are unceasing I am as Happy as the Dey [altered to] Day is Long!!!"
