The last holds a bottle of 'Eau de Colonge' [sic] to the patient's nostril. The fourth turns to say: "I must draw the curtain or his screams will alarm the House--you have no fello feeling my dear fellos, pray unlace the dear loves Stays, and lay him on the Couch." The box is large with couch (right) and table with decanters, dish of peaches, and two candles. On the floor beside a low-crowned hat is a fan. The four dandies register consternation.
