"A jovial citizen leaning on his tall cane in profile to the right addresses another, who walks off to the right, turning his head to scowl at his interlocutor. The former says: "How do you do my Old Friend - pretty warm by this time I suppose, - a long time in business. - how much might you clear now in the course of last Year?" The other answers: "Whats that to you - skant tell - keep no books, what you want to come the Inquisition rig I suppose, an be d------d to you!" He is obese and is stuffing a 'Banke[rs] Book 17[98]' into his coat-pocket. His dog 'Surly' looks round with contempt at the first speaker, and befouls his cane."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"A dancing-master, playing his small fiddle or kit, dances, facing a stout 'cit' who dances between wife and daughter, holding their hands; another grown-up daughter dances opposite them beside the dancing-master. The 'cit's' leg is extended stiffly. The first daughter says: "Law Pa that's just as when you was drilling for the Whitechaple Volunteers-- only look how Ma and I & sister Clementina does it??--" Pa: "I say Mounseer Caper! don't I come it prime? Ecod I shall cut a Figor!!" The man answers: "Vere vell Sar, Ver Vell you vil danse a merveille vere soon!" On the left a tiny child imitates her father's step, supported by a little sister, while three rather older children dance in a ring. A plainly dressed maiden aunt sits in an armchair (right). A handsomely furnished drawing-room is suggested. The curtains are drawn, candles burn on the chimney piece. On the wall is a bust portrait of an austere-looking man."--British Museum online catalogue, descriptioin of an earlier state

"One of a set (coloured) by Williams, all with the same imprint (British Museum Satires Nos. 12933-6). An adaptation of British Museum Satires No. 12925. The stout man dancing between two ladies is in military uniform with a large sabre. The room is altered by the addition of a side wall (left) to which the fireplace is transferred. In its place is the square piano under a large mirror. All the figures are altered; a lady in an arm-chair with a man leaning over her has been added. Elaborate gas or oil lighting replaces candles: a hanging chandelier with a circle of globes with chimneys, with similar lamps in brackets on a glass over the chimney-piece, which is surmounted by a standing lamp. There are three whole length portraits of dancers striking attitudes, two being 'Mde H[i]llisburgh' and 'Monr Vestris'."--British Museum online catalogue
