One asks his obese companion 'What is Taxes Thomas?!!' Answer: 'I'm sure I don't Know!' Inside the hall a grossly fat porter sleeps in his hooded chair. [2] 'Gentility!--' A little chimney-sweep, decked out in ribbons, and holding brush and shovel, addresses another 'climbing boy': 'vhy I say Jim ar'nt you a gooing out with Jack & the Green?!!' The other: 'No. Master says as how its werry low -- Ve ar all a going to dine with the Masters & Missus's at Vite Condic [White Conduit] House'. For sweeps on May Day cf. No. 6740.

Bust profile to the right of a man constructed of materials for punch; the shoulders are the broken top of a sugar-loaf; bowl, decanter, two glasses, lemon, lemon-squeezer, and corkscrew make up the head.

A woman's figure is formed of a hand-bell whose handle, the body, supports an immense hat, the crown covered with flowers; ribbon streamers from brim to shoulders form arms. Cf. No. 15611.†.
