"Wright the upholsterer and Wardle face each other in profile. Wright (left) is fashionably dressed, wearing tasselled Hessians, and leans forward insinuatingly but with an alarmed expression, holding the end of a long scroll (his bill) which rests on the ground: 'Gullam Waddle Esqr to Wright--Red Turkey Carpet--Convex Mirror--Chandeliers--Side Boards--Bed Furniture--Chairs and Tables--Vases Celerets &c &c--Egyptian Furniture--a Sofa A La Clarke--A Bed-stead after the same pattern'. He says: "Mr Gull-em, Waddle I have brought you in a small Bill for goods, delivered for the Cleopatria of Westbourne place [see No. 11238],--and as you are a true patriot you can have no possible objection to the Bill of Wrights". Wardle, in regimentals and boots, his hands deep in his breeches pockets, leans angrily, saying: "What do you talk about patriotism, I tell you I have left off practice. D------n the Bill of Wrights!--It is all a mistake, about West-Bourne place, you shoud have taken it to Gloucester Place! [see No. 11222] there--you would be sure to have had your Money!!"--British Museum online catalogue
