"Scene in a bedroom, meanly furnished except for a four-post curtained bed (left) and a carpeted floor; it is lit by a single candle or rush-light. Lady Eldon (right), a lean and ugly virago, assails the ex-Chancellor with a shovel, holding him by the coat. He tries to escape, shrieking, I cou'dn't in conscience my love, act with them--why, they are all in league with the Devil. Lady Eldon: Conscience, indeed! I'll conscience you! Aye, aye, Sir, you don't know your friends from your foes. I'll make you learn to keep a good place when you've got one; you shan't be idling at home earning nothing. What business is it of your's who's who as long as you have got a good place and are well paid for it. Under the bed is a box of Smuggled Goods. On the wall is a picture: Taking leave of the Court of Conscience. In this Eldon leans from a desk holding a handkerchief towards his eyes, facing a group of standing barristers. On the floor is a book: Rule a Husband and have a Husband [parodying the title of Fletcher's comedy, 'Rule a wife ...]."--British Museum online catalogue
